Earning excellent grades and obtaining honors student status in high school, it would seem that Heidi Bauer had a successful high school career. But because of constant bullying that school administrators could not stop, she was diagnosed with “school phobia” and quit high school at the age of 17.
“This is why many GED students talk about dispelling the stigma of having a General Educational Development certificate. So many of us left school for a wide variety of reasons, most having nothing to do with our ability to succeed academically.”
Bauer quickly began and completed the process of receiving her GED within four months of leaving high school. By the age of 29, she seemingly had everything a businesswoman would want-- a steady career in Louisville, Kentucky as a quality assurance analyst for a large credit card processing company.
“I had a good job, my own home, and a new baby but something was just missing. I wanted more out of life and that motivated me to go to college.”
