It would be A step by step program, first they would have the choice of a ged or high school education. The next step would be to find what career goel the would be most confortable with .

Writing: Answer this question that we created as a class-
What would you do to improve Richmond? Why? How? Use your own knowledge, observations and personal experiences to support your answer. Give specific details
What would I do to improve Richmond
The first thing I would do is improve the employment opportunities. That's what I think is the biggest problem. Its not just that its the pay how do they expect people to live on that kind of money.I remember when I first had my child I did have the privilege of coming from a wealthy family or have the support of a child's father. So just like most young girls my age I had to be on welfare for a moment. They say they are designed to help single mothers but that's sould I say bullshit. I remember I was in one of there so called job readiness classes and the lady was talking about they would pay for childcare while you work so I said that's fine but what if you didnt want to work.Would they support you if you wanted to go to school because that's what I was interested in. She said NO! I looked at her like she was crazy and was like that's crazy that doesn't make since. They would rather you work at McDonald's then to support you in a way that you could so support yourself for a lifetime.Then they have the nerve to have a five year maximum time you could be on welfare get real how much can u gain at McDonald's in five years maybe a dollar or two raise wow!
That's what crazy if i had allot of money where I would donate to a fund it would help young mothers for real because i don't think people know how hard it really is to be a single mother its not about your wants its abouts your child's needs. That's the way I see it maybe everybody don't think like that but me being the mother that I am I take that serious its hard am not saying is easy you have to put yourself completely to the side like now am just getting to a point in my life where i can start my life. I wanted to start years but with no support that's what I had to do set my wants aside for my child's needs. But that's OK better late than not at all! and that what chapter am at now in my life.

Sample GED Essay Writing Prompt Topic
What is one important goal you would like to achieve in the next few years? In your essay, identify that goal. Explain how you plan to achieve it. Use your personal observations, experience, and knowledge to support your essay.
Reprinted with the permission of the GED Testing Service
Over the next few years, my main goal is to obtain a college degree from St. Johns University in Collegville. This goal will be very difficult to obtain and I will need to work hard at it. Three things that will affect the outcome of my goal are; how much money I can raise to pay for it, how much time I am willing to spend studying, and my dedication in training for football.
Before you can register at a college, you must consider how it is going to be paid for. This is especially an issue at St. Johns, because the tuition is around $22,000 a year. This is a huge sum of money. It is not made easier by the fact that my parents will be able to contribute very little towards my education. Thus I am forced to rely on scholarships, grants, and loans from the government and other agencies. I have already taken some action by applying for scholarships, but I will have to apply again next year. I received a $7,500 scholarship from St. Johns and they have also given me some grants. The rest of the money will have to come from student loans and an oncampus job.
The next area that will affect my goal is the classroom. This is important because the main point of college is to prepare meself for a successful career. In college, I will need to apply myself and take time to study every night. Sometimes, I may be forced to give up things that I would rather do, but I must if I am going to achieve my goal. I must create a relationship with my professors because they will help me obtain the information that is needed to be successful.
The third thing is my dedication in training for football. Football is my favorite sport and St. Johns has an excellent football tradition. They have150 players out for football each year. If I am going to be successful and contribute to the team, I am going to have to be dedicated to training. I must spend tireless hours in the weight room gaining strength and quickness.
I believe all of the hard work will pay off. If I can do these three things, I will successfully complete my goal of graduation from college. If this goal is achieved, I believe I will be well onmy way to a successful life

The reason why i decided to share my experience with being independent is because of my own personal experiences. The most famous one was needing rides to work not because i needed one but just being lazy. But it didn't get me anywhere but not going or late every time.The next experience that really made me mad was club night everybody trying to find a ride to the club. The problem was trying to make it before a certain time to get in free,but never made it. So the most valuable lesson i learn is. Catch the bus,have a plan a b or even c, as far as work never depend on anybody when money is on the line.
