I dropped out of school at 16 and now at 26, I'm trying to get my GED and maybe go to college after that. The problem is, I'm not sure if I can. I have a study book for the GED test and do average to slightly below average on most sections, above average on a few subjects that I like, and then there are a couple I really struggle with. The biggest problems for me are that you have to write an essay for it and growing up I was diagnosed with a learning disability that had to do with writing. Even though I can think up things in my head, I have a lot of trouble writing my thoughts down and explaining things. I also can't do the math at all either – I don't think any of it is too difficult/complex but I still had to guess on a lot of questions. I tried to learn as much math as I could using things like Khan Academy, but I just can't do it.

So now I'm in my mid 20s and I still don't think it's possible for me to even get a high school level education. If only there was another option. I don't know if there's any hope for me.
