      Obtaining my GED was a pivotal moment in my journey towards a successful career in the tech industry. While traditional high school education is the most common path towards a degree in computer science, I found myself facing a number of challenges and detours that made it difficult for me to follow that path. However, I didn't let those obstacles stand in my way. I knew that with hard work and dedication, I could overcome any challenges and achieve my goals, even if it meant taking an alternative route to education. That's why I decided to pursue my GED, and I'm glad I did. Earning my GED has provided me with the opportunity to pursue higher education in computer science and work towards my dream of a successful career in the tech industry. It has also given me the chance to demonstrate my knowledge and skills in a new way, proving to myself and others that I have what it takes to succeed in this field. In the future after five years after earning my GED, I could make significant progress in my education and career. Ive taken a number of computer science courses at a local community college, building a strong foundation of knowledge and skills that I can continue to build upon as I progress through my degree program. I've also been fortunate enough to land a number of internships and part-time jobs in the tech industry, giving me valuable hands-on experience and exposure to the field. Looking to the future, I'm confident that my GED and the hard work and dedication I've put into my education and career will pay off. In five years, I hope to have completed my degree in computer science and landed a full-time position at a top tech company, where I can use my skills and knowledge to make a positive impact and help drive innovation and progress in the industry. I know that the path towards a successful career in the tech industry can be challenging, and it's not always a straight line. But with determination and a willingness to pursue alternative paths to education, I believe that anyone can achieve their goals and make a meaningful contribution to their field. I'm grateful for the opportunity that my GED has given me, and I'm excited to see where my journey will take me in the years ahead. My GED will help obtain next level studies.
