Any GED success stories?

A child I know well took the GED a a few months after she was told by her HS that she could not return for senior year because she had missed too much school due to her chronic health problems. She scored 4000 out of 4000 & started the local CC in the fall. After her 1st term there, she applied as a transfer to an out-of-state selective private U & was accepted as a 2nd semester sophomore there. She transferred there & is just completing her 3rd semester there. Nearly all of her courses transferred & she’s doing great at the U she’s attending. Her HS grades were not great (some Ws, some Cs) due to absence penalties but her CC grades were strong, 3.8. She had solid SAT scores as well.

Sorry, her story does involve attending CC, as she didn’t want to stop attending school & she was told too late to apply to any U that she wouldn’t be returning for her senior year of HS.
