Music City’s own Redneck Woman demonstrated that even amongst the glitz of fame and glamour of fortune, education is still important. Singer Gretchen Wilson aimed to set an example for her daughter by completing what she had not had the chance to–high school. Wilson passed the General Educational Development (GED) exam last month and will graduate with her high school diploma next week.
A story like this may get minimal coverage compared to all the juicy scandals in Hollywood, but it is nice to see someone famous honoring the tradition of education. In addition, at the age of 34, Wilson proves it’s never too late to finish school. By completing her GED, Wilson shows that no matter how much stardom you have achieved or material goods you have acquired, education is still personally meaningful.
