Past Questions
Dear Balance Act,
I have been thinking about going back to school for my GED. I’ve heard about a lot of great schools. I have to work full time because I’m still a single mom. So, I need a program that can offer me flexible classes on my own schedule. Do you know of any?
Sincerely,
GED Mom
