Abandoned

Abandoned by her real parents,
She silently turns away,
The terror lies inside her,
And the fear still remains,
She watches silently as her adopted parents leave,
Thinking will they ever return,
The terror lies inside her,
And the fear still remains,
As new relationships begin,
She thinks will they abandoned her too,
constantly wondering do they really love her,
Or is she going insane,
The terror lies inside her,
And the fear still remains,
Will this nightmare never end.

What it was like to pass my GED
 

The GED was challenging yet very interesting in many ways. Let me tell a little about how I felt while taking the test . How I felt afterwards and how I felt when I passed my GED test . I'll try and describe in as little words as possible.

 

The test was extremely hard to me. Especially the math. I never thought I would make it through the hour. The Reading was pretty easy though but the Social Studies and Science was brain draining. The essay was quite simple. I had a simple essay to do . I liked the topic. The Language Arts Writing I seem to get better and better at each time.

 

Afterwards I had nothing but anxiety wandering did I pass or not. I kept thinking oh! I am a failure. I am not smart. There's no way I could have passed the GED. I probably have to take it again. I probably failed the math section, I am so terrible at it.

 

When I got my results I was in shock. I couldn't believe it. I was so happy. I told everyone I knew. I was so proud of myself. I really did it. I am smart. I did get my GED. I earned this. HURRAY I still can't believe this. I'm amazed by myself.
