Dropped out of school short after my 16th birthday. Not able to go back to school, or even get a good paying job I was stuck with no one to help me. Until I met my soul mate{STRETCH215} four months after my 18th birthday, He ensured me that I was capable of getting my G.E.D. It was not easy and it took a lot of work. Long story short there are five test you must pass in order to get your diploma, I passed 4/5 test in the first try. But I didn't pass my math, when I first started my testing it was the year of 2006. It's now 2011 since then I've given birth to four children,registered 3 times for my math test and only showed up the first time and then for the last test and guess what I finally got my G.E.D Diploma on December 9,2010. In five years I was tested by a higher power and over came all that was thrown my way. YOU MIGHT BE ONE STEP FROM REACHING THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN TO SLIP AND FALL ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM AGAIN BUT IF YOU HAVE THE AMBITION YOU WILL EVENTUALLY RULE THE TOP OF THAT MOUNTIAN'S PEAK.

Quotes
At twenty-five I should have worn a big red A on my chest; it would have stood for ambition, an ambition so brazen and burning that it would have reduced Hester Prynne's transgression to pale pink.
Anna Quindlen Journalist, Novelist  (born 1953);
It is a grand thing to rise in the world. The ambition to do so is the very salt of the earth. It is the parent of all enterprise, and the cause of all improvement.
Anthony Trollope  Novelist  (1815-1882);
Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men.
Abraham Lincoln 16th U.S. President  (1809-1865);
Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive to keep you going all day. Goals tend to tap the deeper resources and draw the best out of life.
Harvey Mackay Author, Motivational Speaker  (born 1932);
You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.
