Got a call from Angie the other night,nothing new there... But this time the conversation was a little different..Hello Mom what yah doing, nothing just watching TV., then out it came!!! Mom would you like to take your G.E.D's with me?
It only takes afew nights aweek. One of my friends and her mother took them together and they had a ball...
Now I'm in a panic!!! What do I say.? Angie I really don't think so. Oh come on Mom it will be fun!! Little does she know the panic that is running through me.How do you tell you daughter, that you don't want her to know just how stupid you are?Excuse's think of something quick!!!! Well Ang, I don't know when your Dad and I will be working.... and I don't think I can afford it. On the other end of the phone I here disappointment,oh !!!! Just that one little word broke my heart.. I would love to do this with her.So finally I say, Angie look I know I can't do it. I'd never be able to do the math,to start with,or the English,and I would have to do from grade 7 on !!! Oh come on Mom I know you could do it, and it would be fun.
Fun!!! never in a million years would I find being humilated in a room full of people Fun.....I would really like to do this, but I know I can't...
This coneversation,has been playing on my mind every day. I would love to do nothing more then to get my G.E.D's, then be able to take some courses, and get out of the fish plants ,and into something I would enjoy, and stay warm and dry.
All I can think of, is if I could do this, I'd like to do something in electroics.I love taking things apart and putting them back together.I bet that infomation shocked you all. I would rather be in nursing, but by the time I got done I'd be to old. And if I got TV, VCR,ect repair, its something I could do from home.....
So what I've been thinking is I'll get a GED book and see how I do... If it doesn't look to hard,I might just give it a try."Its something to think about!!!!!
Everyone have a wonderfull day!!!!
