I actually have a GED
I got dragged into a fight where I defended myself and then I got arrested... (charges later dropped) so I just hated that school...
So easy, didn't even need to study (no classes required, you just take a test, that simple), passed first time... it's 4 separate test categories, I went two separate times, each time taking two subjects (I mean I coumd probably just marathon through it all, but didn't wanna be overwhelmed). They don't really have actual test centers run by the GED thing, they just tell you to go to a place they approved (e.g: a local city-university campus) and they have a computerlab and they sign you in to the online test... and you have to put all your belongings in a locker outside (especially phones)
So I passed them with "college ready" scores or whatever it even means...
(My school also did like night school for adults if they have like partial credits and they can finish school that way)
Since this was like Covid era, SAT requirements were dropped so Penn State accepted me with just the GED...
But then Depression fucked up my life...
AAAHHH fucking brain chemicals man, life sucks...
Also I'm Asian... really broke the sterotype of academic success... I don't feel so Asian anymore :/
Oh btw about the dreams... I actually dream about Elementary School more...
Cuz my early memories of being this 8 year old Chinese kid new in America... I think I have a "younger me" trapped inside my mind that is still hiding in there, still feel scared of the world...
