Of course! It's a wonderful thing that you'll be attending college!
For me, it's my dream! I ran away when I was 16, so I had to take the GED to even consider going further with college. Being unemployed at the moment and couch surfing, I'm saving every penny I have so I can go too!
Of course you should go! At least get your GE's outta the way. Maybe you could do part time school so you can keep with the job?
