Hmm… Thirst for Knowledge Pt. 2
Recently I’ve been meaning to write more in here. As I’ve expressed in earlier posts, there hasn’t been a whole lot to write about this winter. I could write about how it snowed. And then snowed again. And then snowed some more. I could write about having to push my parents vehicles out of the snow when they get stuck. Where do they get struck? The drive way of course. They’ve lived in Iowa their entire lives but still haven’t figured out how to not get stuck.
Anyways, I started going through old posts and I found one I had written about starting the coursework for getting my GED. Since I’m not sure I’ve ever posted this - I did complete and obtain my GED. In fact, I did so well that I have many around me wondering why I fucked up so bad in high school. Because of how I did, I have a pretty good chance at getting better financial aid and have been in the process of filling out more forms for next year. My biggest achievement? The GED instructor sent me an email the other day letting me know that I had received the highest points of any of her previous students. She also filled out a recommendation for me for the McElroy scholarship, which would be a free ride for a semester of college. Kind of neat.
My score, with 410 passing and 800 as highest score are as follows.
Reading - 760
Writing - 470
Mathematics - 550
Science - 760
Social Studies - 620
I believe if I had retested writing, I would have done much better - but I never had the oppertunity. Anyways - just an update on that whole situation.
