Hopes for the Future
I am currently in the GED program because I would
like to make a difference for myself and my daughters. In
fact, I am going to make a difference in my life. I want my
girls to be able to see a mother who they are proud of. There
are so many things in this world to become, and there are so
many things in this world I would like to achieve. Getting
my GED diploma would be a great accomplishment for me.
To be able to look at that certificate on a wall in a frame
would make me smile every day. It will help me get into a
college as well.
Once I’ve gotten into a college, I will have so many
opportunities. I feel that if my girls see me graduate, it will
be more motivation for them to want the same for
themselves. I want them to be able to say, “If my mother
did it, I can do it.” Life is what you make of it, so I ask you
all to take a look in the mirror. What do you see? I tell you,
I see a bright, beautiful woman who can be all she wants.
Remember that the company you keep can influence you, so
be around positive people and you will be positive. Believe,
and you can achieve. I want to tell everyone not to give up
on your hopes and dreams because they all can come true.

help me to achieve my goals. I don’t take anything for
granted. I am concerned about having good things and
taking charge of my future. I want to own a lot of things so
