Ayesha, all evidence points to the fact that you are able to read and write.
You will have no problem passing the GED.
Trust me.
And please let us know how you’re doing.
My daughter took her GED at an alternative school in Seattle over one summer and had no difficulty with anything but the math. She had dropped out (officially, in real life it was much sooner) at the 10th grade level.
She said she was surprised at how easy it was – and since she was stoned most of that summer, think how easy it’ll be for you!
Ayesha, how wonderful! I took the GED instead of going back to high school for another year (after I missed almost all of senior year due to a serious illness) and it was a piece of cake. I was even able to get into a fairly decent university, so who nows how far you’ll go!
Have you taken the pre-test yet? It will show you which areas you need to work on, if any. The hardest part will probably be the math, but if I remember correctly it was pretty basic, no trig. or calculus. I’m sure you’ll do great, but if you need any help, I’m here for you! 
BTW, I’m going back to school too, so maybe we can be study-buddies.
Ayesha, you’ll do fine. My mom dropped out of high school. She got her GED while in her late 20’s, after having me and my brother. She eventually got her BS in Social Work. Took her 12 years to get it, but it was very cool being able to brag about my mom getting her degree. She’s still working on her Master’s, and she’s 52. Last year, though, she got her EMT certification, and the year before that, she got her motorcycle operator’s license. There might be a connection there, but I’m not sure.
Anyway, best of luck to you!

Are you going to have to pay something for the GED course?
Just wondered, cuz most community colleges and some high schools sponsor free GED programs. My stepson is attending one now – one night a week, 3 hours a night – lots of pre-tests and you go at your own speed.
And it’s free. Which is as it should be.
Hey, Ayesha -
{{{}}} & best of luck with your future studies. E-mail me for help when needed.
It’s amazing what a few years of trying to get by without a lot formal education can do for your motivation. I entered med school 4 ½ & 2 kids after leaving college. Putting up with the BS stuff is much easier when you’re working towards your own goals, instead of goals someone else has shoved you towards.
Good Luck!!!

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
4 ½ years and 2 kids…
I’m a rebel - I’ll help. That’s great Ayesha. Good for you. After reading your posts, I can’t imagine that the GED test will be anything but a breeze for you. Let us know so that we can have a graduation party for you!
