Believing That You Can
to college. When I get accepted to college I will not know
what I will need or what classes I will need to be in because
I have no knowledge on how it works. As I get more
information about the colleges, and the things that I will
need to get started, I will be prepared to study and finish my
goals and ambitions.
As I continue ahead to find a career of my choice, I will
need to be prepared to take advantage of any opportunity. I
must take time to sit down and apply online to find the right
job/career for my experience. Searching for a career will be
very difficult without a diploma/GED for most jobs. As I sit
back and wait for an opportunity to call, I will be very
excited to know that I made something of myself and now
have a chance to get the best job I have been waiting on my
whole life. In conclusion, I will continue going to my
classes to get my GED and be successful, go to college, and
find a career that I can rely on. Once I have my goals and
ambitions successfully completed, I will feel good about my
life knowing that I have accomplished my ambitions and
goals.

Getting My GED
I dropped out of school when I was sixteen. I was
arrested and went to jail. It was in jail that I learned about
GED classes. There, I learned the importance of getting an
education. I know I cannot go anywhere without my GED,
it is very important to have these days. My three reasons to
obtain my GED are to get a better job, have a better life, and
publish my poems. By obtaining my education today it will
land me in a better place tomorrow. If I get my GED I can
do what I love to do which is being around little kids. My
GED will allow me to do anything I want to do. It will show
that I didn’t give up on life. It will show that I did
everything I was supposed to do and what I love to do.
Owning a car and a house is very important me. I will
look back at my past and see how far I have come. I will
have a great job that I enjoy, my own house, and a vehicle.
Getting my education today will give me a better tomorrow;
