My Goal
My goal is to get my GED. I want to get my GED for
three reasons. I want to go to college, I want to get a better
job, and I want to demonstrate my strong qualifications.
First, I want to go to college. I want to go to college to
prepare for a better future. My diploma will make me very
proud of myself later in life. Next, I want to get a better
job. In fact, I work very hard every day and my pay check
is not sufficient enough to pay all my bills. With my
diploma, I could manage doing the things that I want to. I
want to get a better job, mainly to help my family in Haiti,
along with those around me, so that they might understand
the actual definition of education. Last, I want to
demonstrate my strong qualifications. There is nothing more
beautiful than to enter into a business place with positive
proof of your qualifications in your hand, such as my
diploma and courteous behavior. In conclusion, my goal is
to get my GED. I want to go to college, I want to get a
better job, and I want to demonstrate my strong
qualifications. I want to make a difference in this world by
pursuing my goals and dreams.

Imagine trying to learn it fast at my age. It is possible, but it
is going to take a long time. I am not giving up. Though
there had been obstacles in my life, I think in the long run I
should be able to do it. Three years ago I was electrocuted
and received burns in many places of my body. I am
