@darkw00d General Equivalency Diploma. It's a group of tests you can take that verify you know all of the things you're supposed to have learned from High School and guage how well you know them. Scoring high on it is actually requires knowing more than getting a 4.00 GPA requires, so in some cases it can even be better than a high school diploma. Unfortunately most employers don't know this and assume it's worth less than a high school diploma, so if you end up having to get one make sure you go to college afterwards or your job possibilities will be more limited than usual (colleges are smart enough to know that it's at least as good as a high school diploma so they don't discriminate against it for admissions).
