Get my High School Diploma

I’m not sure if I’ve done this. I mean I participated in the graduation ceremony last year with my cap and gown and I am in college right now. But I was only able to get my GED. My school said that I haven’t gotten my high school diploma because they couldn’t get my transcripts from my last school.

I think I am a high school graduate but I don’t have the paper to prove it. Technically it doesn’t matter cause I have my GED but it will be good to have.

When I started going to adult school there was only one thing standing in my way of getting my diploma and that was money. I have to pay for every class plus my GED. But now that I’m working temporarily as a security guard, my worries are over. I have enough money to pay for all my classes so all I need to worry about is my grades. And that’s enough to get me stressed.

I’m about halfway from meeting this goal. This year at my adult school I completed Basic Math Intermediate, English Composition, Health, U.S. Government, U.S. History 1, and Career Planning and I’m finishing Basic Math Advanced right now. Next year I’ll take Algebra 1A, Algebra 1B, U.S. History 2 and Computers. I also need to take the California High School Exit Exam and at my adult school, I have to take the GED to get my high school diploma. Well, I actually don’t have to but if don’t I’ll have to take a whole bunch of other classes which will take me an additional year to complete. But the GED will give me credit for those classes I haven’t taken and I’ll end up with a GED and high school diploma which will be good to put on a resume and college application.

It might seem easy to do this because I’m already enrolled in adult school but I don’t have any money to pay for the classes. And it’s only $10 a class! I hope I don’t have to drop out.
