  • @OculiUbique Yes, anyone with a high school diploma or GED can get financial aid for college. That's what I'm talking about.

  • I scheduled my GED test for science, soc study and reading on june 22.. please give me advice or anything that boost my self-esteem.. I did the diagnostic test on soc study and I got lower score im kinda scared.

  • good job.

  • Bro, I just got my GED yesterday, I am 18 years old and felt as if i could never achieve anything. I had done terrible in school all my life, skipped class until my senior year with only 20 of 40 credits and accomplished nothing. The day I got my GED I felt like I could do something with my life. All in all, I too want to go to college and get my degree. And your videos are truly motivating me. And I thank you for that.

  • yeah i just got my ged too!! my family always underestimated me. I wanted a tutor and nobody would help me so i took it upon myself to study on my own! and i passed!!! i got my scores 3 days ago! dont give up! go to college! it'll save ur life!!

  • Its not fair that you can just take one test and go to college while i took 4 years to get to college. Whats the point of high school?

  • well i went up to 12th grade too, but everyone has the same options... u had the chance to get ur ged if u wanted to, not that its better, its just your choice.. just be proud of urself!

  • @fugiboo It's perfectly fair. You can take it too. There is no point in high school. Compulsory education is awful.

  • Then why do you list yourself as 30?

  • I had to learn the hard way that I didnt need to concern myself with what others may think only what I think about myself really matters,because I know better than anyone else what I am capable of.

  • thanks man i just conquered an addiction and now am looking to get my GED. My parents desserted me at 16 now im almost 19, i got the greatest gal ever and ive proved that i can do anything i put my mind to. i cant change wat ive done but i can change how i want the rest of my life to be. ur vid helped me step up, even judge mathis has a ged.

  • ah forreal i wonder that somtimes to, why i dont have the will to push my self in school.

  • May I listen to the songs on your Myspace?

  • Amen my brother!!

  • AMEN Bro! You are an inspiration, your video encourages others, Thank You

  • AMEN Bro!

  • sad music in this video, I meant to say :]

  • Don't let the sad video in this video fool you, you don't need to pray, you don't need a trusty ally to tell you that you cannot do it, lol. I dropped out during my sophomore year of high school. 4 years later, after naught a single study session, I passed the GED. My friend (whom had 2 babies after 3 years of high school) passed the G.E.D. She failed most all of her classes during her 2nd year. If you're like me, just study the math. It's a lot easier than this guy tries to make it to be.

  • You're very inspirational to all of us...

    i too have felt the same way you did when i was a teenager.

    you make me cry :'[

  • Very emotional dude!!! Was it hard??

  • i just seen 3 of your videos, your words really hit me. I'm getting ready to take the ged the beginning of next month and i was so nervous because i have soo many people counting on me but now i feel soo much better. Thanks and ill let you know how mine went!

  • Thank you so much for the inspiring words. What you said near the end about the past not mattering, really hit home.

    I've been living in fear of school because of my past. I'm now 25 and terrified of getting my GED, but I'm trying to make the steps for it. Then when you said it matters where you're at right now really opened my eyes. I'm not who I was before. I'm not in that situation anymore. I am who I am now and I'm ready to take my power back. Thank you for that. :)

  • @KaleidoKatie Me too, Katie. Trust me. I grew-up being picked on in school and never really did as much. I was placed in Special ED at a young age and suffered mentally. My self-esteem suffered as well. Yeah, I did some things that weren't right, but it was very small. The teachers didn't care and babied us. I still hate school till' this day. People I knew are doing better than me as far as intelligence.

  • I PASSED The TEST !

  • You are quite the charasmatic and happy looking guy! I wish I was happy, and you seem to have really made it, made yourself happy. You took charge with your life.

    Very inspirational video, you should become a philosopher.

    I'm still a little timid about taking the GED, but I think it will be better for my life than the high school I am currently at.

  • Thank you by the way.

  • people told me the same thing that I was going to be nothing and I said Ill prove you wrong I traveled all around the world I have a beautiful girlfriend and a good job people say that because they are scared you will be better then them

  • good vid man good vid.

  • Nice video man, and congratulations on your GED! I'm going to take my test next week, tired of being a loser.

  • same here dude i do regret for not finishing HS.

  • Best wishes to you bud, I just got mine a couple weeks ago now, turns out I scored pretty well too. =D

    I haven't done anything with it yet (I'm a huge procrastinator, which is one of the reasons I took so long getting it), but at least I have it now and it's a good feeling to have all of that behind me, and now when I'm ready to go to college or get a job I'm able to, no restrictions. =)

  • spanks and good luck wiff college

  • I'm going to get mine soon, but I'm really nervous about the math part. I only made it to algebra 1 in high school...and even then I barely made it through. I've just always sucked at it. How advanced is the math on the test?

  • Thank you for sharing your faith.

  • .....

  • Very good. Very good.

    ----------Life Is So Hard For Me--------

  • hey, im 17 and gonna turn 18 on march 2 this year. Im a 9th/ 10th grader in highschool. im thinking of dropping out ang getting my GED cuz im a moron. Should i get it or stay in school and finsh three and a half years? or take my GED and i could be finished way faster then highschool?

  • go to citizens' high school online Get general education training from them.

    Then go to community college or

    trade school. They are lots of wonderful

    opportunities. Good luck.

  • i know i misspelled working,i have been out of school for 15 years before going to college this year.

  • OMG I felt as though you were speaking to ME

    and i felt as though you were telling MY life story because everything you said minus the religion is all true. everyone said i wont do it i never had ANY confidence, self esteem etc at all growing up ever and i didnt really care about school . never.

    you truly are an inspiration to me!!

    you are amazing!!

    you gave me much needed inspiartion determination etc!!

  • motivation

  • Wow man this vid was great! I use to ask myself why cant i push myself like everyone or jus b determined lik everyone else too so I can relate to you on that! And wen you said your faith in God is stronger than ever that jus blew my mind cuz I am living for God too and to c someone else living for God that has his GED (which I will obtain) is a true blessing! Thanks man! Thank you!

  • i am the same way,people telling me i can't do anything,i almost got my ged went to classes and took the tests,passed everything except lousy math,i just can't do math,so 1 year passed since that test and 2 days ago i went back and signed up for the it,anyways,i wish u and ur girl best in life man,really,from the heart

  • Thank you for this video man.You have no idea you basically described my life story up to this point.Thank you I wish you the best of luck,because within those 10 minutes you made me feel like i can do it.I've wasted enough of my life and I want to make a change.

  • ditto me too!!

  • I'm a GED prep teacher in Nebraska. If you have any GED questions...first, you need to type in ged at youtube...and read all my responses. If you have additional questions..email them to me.

  • did you get to your senior year in your high school? im 18 and im suppose to graduate this year but i messed up my senior year and i guess my next step is becoming a super senior. HELP ME. IM SO FUCKED UP.

  • I was home schooled, I had very little schooling going into this. I have several GED videos where I talk about the GED, check those out, one is on the side there in the 'related videos'

  • @Gilcspin Hey i was needing some advice....its my senior year and i fucked around too much so im going to be a super senior...im already enroled in college to start in may so if i stay over in high school i wont be able to start in may. i talked to the college im enrolled in and they said they would accept a ged...im going to college to be a mechanic. do you think it would hurt my chances of getting a good job after college if i got a ged? thanks

  • good video

  • PLEASE READ:

    Gilcspin is young and intelligent. You can tell. If you're fairly young (under 21), and made it to 10th or 11th grade, you can probably take all 5 tests (cold/no or little prep) and pass. You can also go to any library or book store to get a GED book. Almost all of these have full-length practice tests near the back. For any test, you want to get about 30 correct out of 50 in order to pass. Also, every state offers free prep classes. If you have questions, start asking me.

  • I want to find one of those books. I went in to the book store near my house but it was closing down. I wasn't even sure if they made one like that but after seeing your comment I'll def. have to check into another place. Did you take the GED test too?

  • @joesteinbock

    are you sure 30 out of 50? so you mean 60% is the passing grade?

  • You are a beautiful person. And you and this video is what i have been needing to motivate me and obtain the drive and determination to excel. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm getting my GED and going to school starting Monday. Thank you!

  • Sir, I am out to get my GED, and YOU have inspired me.

    You and I are very much alike, (except for the religious views)

    so I feel better about getting it.

    Thank you.

    Personally thank you...

  • you are welcome:)

  • great vid

  • I'm going for my GED in a month and your vid's gave me a big boost of needed confidence.

    Thx.

  • fuk im trying to get my GED tell me how it was later ok?

  • I'm in almost the same situation you were in, never cared about school in general. People told me I'd regret the decisions I was making but I don't. Yea, like you said, I could have a career right now. Less problems. But the path that I took made the who Iam right now. I Feel I'm stronger than I would have been without going through this struggle. Basically, I'm glad someone else has been through this and I'm glad theres a way out. This video has really opened my eyes and I thank you for that.

  • next step COLLEGE hell yea man ...

  • Thank you so much for this video. You have motivated me. You're awesome. Thank you.

  • dude....youre fuckin awesome lol.
