30 Something

I went to pick up my sister today because she's going to be staying with me for a little while. She's trying to get her GED and we've been having problems because she lost her social security card and she didn't have a school ID or her birth certificate as identification so she couldn't take the test. She took the classes in IOWA, but she had to take the test by a certain date. If she didn't take the test within the set date, she would have had to take the pretest all over again and we would have still had a problem getting a pic ID for her. So I paid for her to go back home to see if she could get her birth certificate because I called an told them her situation and I was informed that as long as she had a school ID she could pick up a birth certificate. She tried to get her birth certificate and was denied because she's not 18. She was told that her mom must pick it up. My mom, however, refuses to get her birth certificate because she claims that she can't take time off of her job to go get it. So I tried to order it online, but couldn't because they wanted a pic ID. So she went to school to get a school ID (why would she be able to get a school ID when she's not enrolled? I'll tell u later) and I'm going to have to copy it and fax it to them to get her birth certificate. I'm hoping that as long as she has the school ID she can take the GED test here. Illinois has diff rules. U don't have to take any test in order to take the GED you can simply go to get an application to say u want to take it and sign up for the test. However, if u fail it is highly recommended that u go through the classes. Plus Illinois is about $50 cheaper than IOWA. I hope and pray that she can use the school ID because if not we will have to wait to get her birth certificate and then go to get a State ID and who knows how long the birth cert will take.
