What is better diploma or ged in this case. I'm 15 years old am currently homeschooling myself and taking care


Asked by Elizabeth
of my 1 month old daughter. The father left when I was pregnant and both of my parents work. So i'm having to struggle between taking care of her and finishing up the first semester of the tenth grade. I'm far behind, and have been researching alternatives to completing high school. I've talked to my parents and they have agreed that I could just spend the next half a year studying to take the ged (my state allows us to take at 16). Then afterwards go straight into college we've both researched the college (Gwinnett Technical College) and its seems it would be possible for me to get in and start my first 2 years there and then transfer to Auburn (I want to be a vet) and it says the courses are transferable. Going this way seems to be a better choice than struggling through homeschooling when I could just go on weekends at Gwinnett. Then there would be more time with my child and i'de be getter my college edjucation done faster. The question i'm asking is there anything I am overlooking

No, it sounds to me like you have researched this very well. I would just make sure, with Auburn, what courses are transferable and what grades they will transfer (many colleges require a B to transfer). I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but am glad to hear that you are taking it head on and doing your best. GOOD LUCK!!
