GED stands for Getting Everyone Disappointed

In the past, I've used quite a few name meaning generators, but they were all basically bad versions of an acronym generator. What's funny is I had to think up my own acronym meaning for GED, even after trying many acronym generators, because nothing they generate sounds appropriate.

Moving on, my life is full of disappointments. I was forced out of school (too much violence), had to be home-schooled (or risk failing the same grade for a few years), and when I was 16 years old, I wasn't considered a student at all, so I was dropped from the education system against my will. Later, I joined a GED program in Kentucky, but it was shut down for some reason, possibly budget restraints, so I didn't get that done.

Now, I have a chance to get my life turned around. I enrolled at Project Learn in Tennessee. I was amazed at how stupid some of the other students were, and the teachers were all amazed that I didn't graduate high school, so once I've worked out when (and where) I can take the test, I will, most likely, get my GED diploma/certificate thing. However, I'm still wondering what's left between now and the test. There are a lot of hoops I have to jump through before I complete the stage of my life I call the "Evil Education Environment" or EEE.

Update:
Days ago was my official graduation. I wore the stupid cap and gown, and I partied afterwards, and the cake wasn't a lie. ;D
