GED does not mean Dropout.
I really don’t understand why people always equate taking the GED to dropout. I’m taking the GED because I came to the US and there’s no other way to fit into the system. I need to pass the GED in other to to go to college. Anyone here with similar situations?

People should know that we all have different backgrounds and different stories.

We are focused here. All we care about is passing the GED and making the best out of every opportunity we have. Not looking back and reminiscing or regretting what is already in the past

ou are correct, GED (General Educational Development) does not mean dropout.
A dropout is someone who leaves school before completing their high school education, while a GED recipient is someone who has demonstrated their knowledge and skills at a level comparable to a high school graduate by passing a battery of tests covering the subject areas typically taught in high school.
While some people who earn a GED may have dropped out of high school, many others may have left school due to extenuating circumstances such as illness or family obligations, and still others may have completed their education through alternative means such as homeschooling or online learning.
It is important to recognize that earning a GED is a significant achievement and provides individuals with greater opportunities for employment and further education.
