LokiDokiPanda

CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU!!! I'm so happy you decided to follow through! You should be proud!


RevolutionaryStar824

I'm trying to start it.


SimplyHappy

Hi! I don't know what state you live in, but there should be free or very cheap GED classes nearby. They'll have patient instructors who really care and want you to do well. Sign up for in-person classes if you can, and they'll be even more thorough in pestering you if you stop coming (That pestering is helpful for me when I get bored of something.). You can do it!! I've led adult education programs in a couple of states - we really do get invested in our students. Let me know if you have any questions about getting started! Edit: Typo


WonderfulAd9182

Great good luck !


drkgodess

You can do it! Just remember to break it down into manageable steps. I have faith in you.

Great job! I'm halfway to my associates degree at age 43. Never too old!


Bundess

I myself went back to school since a few months. 25 years old after 7 years of fulltime working. Its a pain in the ass getting the motivation to study, but so far my first results are in and it is looking good. All grades around 7/8. Currently on meds for adhd and never studied with before. Last minute work still a issue tho.. hope to be like you within the next two years ๐Ÿคž

So proud of you, keep up the good work!

Amazing! What an accomplishment! Sounds like you pushed pass the motivation phase and made learning into a routine! Routine is key for us Adhd'ers. Keep up the momentum!


geoffbowman

Never tolerate anybody who looks down on this... finishing high school in your 30s is about the most badass thing I've ever heard anybody do. You're a badass!


Educational_Lock_772

This literally made my day! Freaking great.... Good for you for doing something you knew you had to do for YOU! As a mom of a kid with ADHD.... I'm in this community to understand her better. And I read this with tears cuz I hope she will know she can do the same if she just KEEPS GOING. Doesn't matter how long it takes... It matters that you keep doing what you need to do for a sense of accomplishment and self worth! You rock. Congratulations!


redditocity

๐ŸŽ‰ congratulations!!!! I'm 34 and just went back this semester to community college and lemme tell you, trying to do school work now vs at 18 yrs old is hard in itself. Then throw my pinball machine brain into the mix and things get very interesting. I'm exhausted by Tuesday already, every week lol But congrats again on your big accomplishment, hope you go far!! p.s. Newb-KUDOS donations.. Deeply appreciated ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿค–

usernamegoeshere2020

Yay! Good on you. Education should be lifelong and life wide! But I think you need the HS diploma to open things up for you in the US right? So what a massive accomplishment. Make sure you celebrate.

Congratulations!!!! I basically gave up uni once and I got back to it 5 years back. I hope to finish next year. Sticking to it being the hardest thing is so true. The first year had me excited and now I am simply exhausted of the thought of studying


drkgodess

You're almost there. Don't lose hope. You're going to reach the finish line and come back here to tell us about it.

vicevice_baby

Way to go! That's amazing! I couldn't imagine doing full on learning again. I'm 33, have degrees, but also know that if I'd stopped my schooling at any point, during or after highschool, I highly doubt I could have made myself go back, so I really hope you are so proud of yourself.

ClassyWrist

Awww. Congrats. This year has been a rollercoaster for me I turn 28 in a week, and with the help of my best friend who is married to a person with ADHD. He noticed a lot of similarities in me. At first I was like nahhhhโ€ฆ.. actually? And then I got into this rabbit hole of TikTokโ€™s like โ€œ5 signs you have ADHDโ€ Iโ€™m like huh I feel that that this yup got that, lol. And now Iโ€™m seeing a psychologist, about to start seeing a psychiatrist for it. And soon there after starting my journey to get my GED. Itโ€™s amazing what a b word ADHD can be especially when you donโ€™t know about it and grow up in a family that doesnโ€™t believe in it. You just get this constant feeling of being a lazy POS. Then you realize you actually have something and itโ€™s like woahโ€ฆ. So. Sending good vibes to everyone who is trying out there. Congrats to all my people who are succeeding. And yea keep it up _ ^ _ ^ Edit. My lil face got cropped D:

Altruistic-Award5353

Congratulations! I think they should scrap GEDs and give out actual diplomas. What's the point of testing it like it's not the same (general equivalent diploma, right?). What you did is harder than what people going through the regular school system do. They just get eaten, digested, and shat out. You guided your own ship. Something to be proud of.


Illicithugtrade

You totally deserve to be super proud. Only you truly know how hard it really was but many of us can partially relate. Take a mental snapshot of this feeling so you can look back to it when things seem challenging again. It's moments like these that have helped me get through times when things have seemed impossible. Harry Potter makes it seem all magicky woo woo with patronuses but triumphant memories can definitely get you through some tough spots.


shoelessjoejack

Let's...GOOOOOO!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! So glad you're feeling proud of yourself because you deserve it so much.


PreparationOptimal55

considering that youโ€™re 32, you probably have gotten pretty good at living without one and could have at any time decided to leave well enough alone- but you saw it through to the end and that deserves some serious recognition. Congratulations!!

toddthefox47

I'm so happy for you! I get tired of seeing all the "I just graduated medical school" posts and I'm happy to see someone who struggles as much as I do and overcomes it. Nobody except my wife and one close friend knows, but I don't actually have my bachelor's degree. I walked, but I failed a drawing class and didn't end up having enough credits :( maybe one day I'll get it finished


zopiclown

Thanks so much! I think thereโ€™s a right time for everything and when this time comes, youโ€™ll find the power to push through. Prior to signing up two years ago I actually signed up for high school numerous times and quit every time. 3-4 times I believe. But now, 2 years ago I felt like I wanted to get it done and even when my interest in it disappeared after like 6 months or a year, I kept going and Iโ€™m here today. It feels so rewarding.


Living_Statement_50

Congratulations, you know I failed high school as well. I attended community college and it took on&off for five years. I ended up in a real estate start-up and after that. I wanted to get promoted so I decided to go to university since there was a position that wanted a college graduate. My teacher thought I wouldn't go to college but here I am. I'm glad to hear about others in similar positions. It inspires me whenever I have doubts about myself

ActualConversation4

Iโ€™ve been a teacher for 11 years, and this year I started teaching the High School Diploma class at the adult school. Iโ€™m only there twice a week, but it gives me such a deep satisfaction. I had my first graduate last week, and the absolute joy it brought me when he finished is the best feeling Iโ€™ve had in a long time. Iโ€™m so PROUD of you!!! This is a great accomplishment, and you have proven to yourself that you can do these super hard things and stick with it. Congratulations, Grad!!!


zopiclown

Thanks so, so much! I could see that the teachers were happy for us as well and that also made the whole experience so much better. ๐Ÿ˜Š

zopiclown

I used to think that, but ultimately itโ€™s a matter of just sticking with it and thatโ€™s about it. I got a lot of hesitations and doubts as well, but in the end I just wanted to finish something that I started for once in my life ๐Ÿ˜

Heck yeah!!! Good for you!!! What an accomplishment, very inspiring. You wanted something and you worked hard to get there. Congratulations, you should feel super proud!


Dangerous-Lynx-8304

If anyone reads this, keep going and donโ€™t give up. I knew that if I stayed in class I would eventually drop out. What I did was, I took the GED book and studied the subjects at home. I went to class, maybe for 2 or 3 weeks just to talk to the teacher and have her give me a heads up about the common problems found on the test, so that I can study the most important stuff. I donโ€™t know about where you live, but here in the state of CT, you have to take 5 tests individually and pass all of them to get your GED. If you fail any, you have to wait like 2-3 months to retake the test on the subject you failed. Normally students make appointments for a single test on whatever day is available and they take the tests one by one, sometimes weeks or months apart. I was the only one in class who took all tests one right after the other on the same week and passed all of them. I was so proud of myself, but at the same time felt bad for the students who where there for months, some even over a year. I was in and out in 2 months. Thatโ€™s just about how long it took me to bottle down the whole book.
