Due to depression and social anxiety I fell short of graduating from highschool. Though I view my future fairly bright, as I changed and evolved so much into something positive. I curbed my depression, brought myself to a better understanding of how I view life, and this prepared me for dealing with social issues.

Problem is it's been a year since I dropped out of highschool. I was considering going back to highschool but I despise it. I feel like I can't go back to a place that made me so depressed. The only career I can imagine myself doing is becoming a Police Officer. I'm considering getting a GED, working in Security, going to college (If I even can with a GED) for criminology and eventually becoming a cop. I don't feel like I should be worrying at all because I know inside I'm a hard worker, I'm determined, physically and mentally fit and love to push myself to my limits. I'm not scared of putting my life on the line for a better world, and I know above all I'm not a quitter.

Is my dream just a dream? Could this be done? Why am I not worried at all about getting a GED? Should I be?

    I'd say go for it man. My route was a I dropped out for 5 months then came back and graduated just took things more into my own hands and me wanting to do it made the difference. But do what you wanna follow and it will work out

    If you work hard you'll get it. Well done for overcoming your depression. You sound like a winner to me.

    You can definitely be allowed in college with a GED. So if you work hard enough and manage to get a degree in criminology, you're pretty much set. You can become a police officer.

    Is there a way for you to finish high school online?
