My view of life before college was kind of standard for a young married woman. I had two children, house work, and cooking, that took up all my time, and we never had enough money to live on. I was about twenty five when I began to think about getting my GED. I wanted to do something with my life that would be fulfilling, so I could earn more money. I knew that I needed an education, but I also knew that it would be hard for me,due to only finishing the eight grade.
It has now been thirty years since I decided to go get my GED, and I have an entirely different view of my life. I realize now if you want to make something of your life, you have to go to college. If you don't ,you will never be able to give yourself, or your children what they need. There is no possible way to earn enought money working for minimum wage to buy clothes, food, pay car payments, and insurance with six,or seven dollars per hour. I don't know how people make ends meet that earn so little money. My heart goes out to them, because I was once in the same place.
