I quit. Fully. Officially. Don't try to make me come back.
I always hated school. My only good year was 9th grade because it was all online and I had help from my dad. As soon as I learned I could quit school, I knew i was gonna quit someday.
After 2 years of trying to learn any math with countless recourses and every help I can get, the knowledge i learned leaves my head. I cannot retain any knowledge. I've tried everything. I've been studying math for 2 years and still can't pass the practice test. I know you don't need to pass the practice to pass the real deal, but I would need to in order to feel confident.
Doing any math takes a severe toll on my physical and mental health. I can only study 30 minutes a day or else I get a really bad headache and eye strain. Every time I take a practice test and fail, I have a severe meltdown. My mom has almost called mobile crisis because of that at least twice.
I know without a GED, i will struggle to get a job, but I still can get a job. I know it won't be much, but I was always told I will most likely not be able to work much anyways, if at all with my mental and physical disabilities. My parents are supportive of me quitting and so is my advisor. They still try to convince me to just take a "break" but I don't want to. If I take a break, the knowing of the GED waiting for me will just be looming over my head. I'm quitting for now and if I wanna take it again in years, then I can. I'm just not ready. I never wanted to do this in the first place. My mom said I had to if I quit school, so I did. I'm halfway done already, but I just can't do this anymore. I quit last week. My mom has already said she's noticed a difference in my mood and mental health since then. No longer do I have to worry about studying every day and being exhausted. I can just focus on getting my learners permit and getting volunteer opportunities and getting a job coach so I can maybe get some work soon.
