RuPaul Joins Drew to Announce She's Going Back-to-School to Get Her GED 

I’ve actually been debating on getting my GED since I dropped out 7 years ago. This feels like a sign. Wow. I will absolutely finish it this year. I will get my GED

The Kentucky Office of Adult Education sends its whole-hearted support to Drew, Anissa, Justin, and Linda as they embark on this journey together. YOU'VE GOT THIS!

Ironically she has already played the part of an adult who goes back to high school in Never Been Kissed. Now she stars in her own story, Never Been Graduated. You got this Drew! Love you.

I didn't finish college and now at 50 I'm going back! I love to hear supportive stories like this!

Hey Drew. It’s never too late to go back to school. My brother got his GED at 40. You go girl. Congratulations!

🙏😘🙏 I JUST LOVE/ADORE HOW FOCUS SHE IS WHEN SHE INTERVIEWS ALL HER GUESTS. MS. DREW IS A GREAT LISTENER AND THAT TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE AND TALENT. SHE MAKES HER GUESTS FEEL SO IMPORTANT...GOSH! SHE's AMAZING AND A BREATH OF FRESH AIR...THANK-YOU SO MUCH FOR EXISTING MS. DREW...MUJER TAN BELLA...🙏😘🌹🙌🙏 I LOVE YOU SO MUCH and GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH...CONGRATULATIONS...YOU GOT THIS...🙏💪👐🙌👏👍☝😘🙏

I hope this means that Drew is going to be a judge on the new season of Drag Race!!! That needs to happen

That GED exam is no joke... I'm graduate college years ago, took a look at the exam recently, and couldn't answer much of it..Good luck to those on that journey..

Drew you should be a guest judge on drag race! :)

Drew continues to be a trail blazer and inspiration! Bravo to you Drew!!

Ive been considering getting my ged and going to college. College with my 19 year old...life is fun lol

Omg my two favorite celebs ever! Who’s up for a Drew and Ru Paul movie. Needs to happen haha

It's one of the best feelings in the world to see two people you adore interviewing each other so thoughtfully. I adore these people as individuals but it's like Christmas seeing them together loving each other!

drew looks SO beautiful. inside and out i love her

Love the convo about GED! Never too late :)

So proud of you, Drew!!! Setting an example in getting your GED after all these years... especially when you already have a PhD from Hard Knocks U 😉

This is wonderful! I dropped out of High School at the start of my senior year, got my GED and joined the Air Force. I've had an amazing career that started there. I would highly recommend joining the military for anyone who doesn't have a set path in life as yet. It's a great starting point to an amazing future.

Most celebrities might feel uncomfortable talking about dropping out of high school and getting their GEDs. Good for Drew for inspiring others while reaching her goal!

So happy for you, Drew! Good luck Anissa, Justin, and Linda!!! You got this!

I love her appreciation for Ross HES so special and amazing

Drew is my most favorite person. She had it rough and troubled but she has rocked it. Plus she has an amazing personality 😍.

Yes Drew Honor yourself ! Ged! So proud of you! You have survived so much! Thrive!

Anyone notice drew seems happier in LA?

Amazing man our Ru Paul!

This is really important to me Drew Barrymore I’m gypsy my family always told me that I can’t go to school because of my culture but here I am a full functioning adult with a house and a job at 22 I taught myself everything but now that I ate a little bit more I want that to prove to myself that I got my GEDIt’s just so difficult with all that homework and stuff

This made me cry!!! So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Way to go Drew and fellow students!

Get it Drew! I’m going for mine too! 💗

Good going! The best is yet to come!

I wish Netflix would’ve continued Ru Paul’s show, AJ & The Queen. I really enjoyed it!

Yes that is great. It’s never too late!

Congratulations the GED is a great way to go so proud of you all!

Alright I went back in 2006 got mine at 44,felt so good raised my kids life was all uphill I tried when they were younger but had to take them to the library with me I couldn't concentrate enough.I got to wear the robe and graduate in hastings ne. When my little sister heard ide graduated she emailed me a nasty note. NOW GO DO SOMETHING WITH IT. You just can't be proud a minute. you GO FOR IT .It did get me a job with the census this year.

That's so amazing, Drew!!! You've got this!!

I love Drew's dress! Ru also looks amazing!

Drew..It took me many years to get my GED. Life kept getting in the way. I quit in 1969, and finished in 1990. You can do this .. the studying will take time. Make sure you have your schedule open for it. Blessings honey. Much Love..PJ ✌

I love seeing people of all ages pursuing their education and their dreams!! ❤

That was very polite of Drew curtsying to RuPaul! 0:30 In that white dress with a black flower and those lovely monochrome shoes!

You never know who is watching of what you put out there, I loved drew ever since I saw her in movies I think she is beyond beautiful and most importantly she is everything we need to watch just seeing her beautiful funny face makes my day, love her ❤

I Love You, Drew Barrymore. 💖

This is such an incredible episode.💯🎯♥️

I love Drew 💘

I’m 25yrs old. And I feel like I can’t move forward in life without. And that I’m stuck in these seem like remedial jobs. I have in common with Ru that I too left in the 11th grade. By far the worst regret. But tomorrow I restart my journey. Wish me luck guys. 😊 thank you Drew Barrymore you inspire me! 🙏🏽😀

Mother Ru 💋👠💄❤️

Good for you drew! Do whatever makes you happy. 💚

im loving more and more with each ep of drew this season!

I just went back to school too, Drew! Were gonna do this!

I’m in tears!!! Love them so much!!!

I can not tell you enough how much watching your show touches my heart. I've always liked you as an actress but now that I watch your show and I see different interviews on RU-vid of your self and your past I am honestly amazed at all you've overcame and accomplished in your life. I was a troubled teen and adult and I finally found the path to a positive life. I used to blame my mother for a lot of my life as you did but over time I let that go and I am glad because she passed a few years ago and I would never have been able to live with myself if she would have gone to heaven without knowing how much I loved her and that I finally understood the reasons behind her actions. I am now a mother and a wife and I see it's not easy and hard choices have to be made. I just want you to know that I am truly so grateful for you because I finally have a role model to look to. I dropped out of school at age 16. I had a ninth grade education for many years. In 2007 I went and I earned my GED, it's not easy let me tell you. In 2018 I went and earned my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. My career now has nothing to do with my degree but, the fact that I earned them both makes me feel like a better parent because I showed my children its okay to mess up as long as you learn from it. PLEASE DO NOT EVER STOP BEING YOU. 😍😍

I can't wait for Drew's prom and graduation!!!! I hope it's a city wide bash.

Drew......those shoes tho!!! Love you girl!!!

Just watching this (in July 2023) and I am entering my - hopefully - final semester of my university degree. I started at 20, failed (literally many papers) miserably, and now at 42 am only 2 papers away from completing my Bachelor's Degree and graduating officially next year. To anyone reading this who doesn't do it when "it's expected" or within "a perfect timeframe"....YOU GOT THIS BABY!!!!

How wonderful for you, Drew! As one of your many fellow sisters, I’m so proud of you.

I went to 12th grade for 3 weeks. I dropped out and went to get my GED. I took it in November of 2000 and I was 17yo. Then went on to college and became an ARNP. Anything is possible 🍬🎀❄💜

I’m a huge follower of both your careers in my 54 year life. Both of you on the screen at once is almost too much. My head is going to explode.

Drew you can do it.

I am so proud of you Drew! You have overcome so much in your life. I think it's awesome that you're going to get your GED. I went back to school at 48 and graduated (with honors) with an Associate's degree at 50. Unfortunately it didn't help me any as my school was unaccredited and it left me with loads of student loan debt, but I did it and did it well. I'm still proud of myself!!

Never too old to go back to school!

Congratulations to Drew, Anissa, Justin, and Linda!

He’s an inspiration to many. 🥰

I love her😁

Is anyone beside me just thought that how funny it is if she goes back to school like the movie “Never been Kissed” 😄

And thats just Ross Matthews 😊

So proud of all those people going back and telling their stories on live TV. :)

Drew is the detective in chief.

I find it a little comical that Drew said something about not being born with silver spoon but then talks about making it far without a GED.....

Two beautiful, genuine people.😍

Wanted to say I am a movie fan and especially love the oldies. Never mentioned I know and love John and Ethel and all of the Barrymores. And I have become just nuts a out Drew. Which part she and all of you know already; the Drew part that is.

I congratulate Miss Drew. She was able to go back to school to get her GED. I hope she succeeds. I was a smart girl but I had my issues too. I have an Associate's degree and a Bachelor's degree.

hurray

Yet another reason Drew is more real than 90% of celebrities, including Tiktokers

Bravo

You can also finish high school and receive your diploma at your local Community College. The nice thing about that is you’ll receive college credits for the courses you take at the same time.

Yaaaassszzzz ma’am

I always call you Barry drewmore by accident, but only in my head 😁

Drew is always kneeling to people in every damn episode looool

Remember the stories of ppl in their 60s to 80s graduating high school with the great or grand kids. It shows we're not too old to finish things

Good luck Drew, Anissa, Justin, and Linda! Lots of love all the way from Australia, we're proud of you all xo

Congrats to drew.💯🔥❤👋👍✊🙌📔📕📖📗📘📚📚📚📓

Well don't Drew. You're such an inspiration 🎉

Yay, Drew!!! Thank you for covering such an important topic.

Drew good luck to you i am getting my GED and i take my last test at the end of the year

My husband dropped out of high school at 16, got his GED in his twenties and then got his JD in his thirties. He became a top corporate attorney. It’s never too late. 👩‍🎓

Snatch Game brought me here lol

You go girl, you got this🙏💗💖💗💗

Way to go Drew!!!

Omg brilliant!!!

I'm here for you, Drew. Reach out if I can support your GED success in any way. xoxo

In a brand new grocery store, I was there when it opened, a cashier technically but whatever they asked, I'd go in at 4am to stock, worked lottery, cashed paychecks, snowbirds wanting $ for expired food etc.Assistant mgr asked what my major was. I'm a dropout after completing the 10th grade. His face was shocked. "You seem so smart!' I AM smart!! You don't need a piece of paper to make you smart. He told me he & the manager wanted me to be a manager. I cashed their paychecks, knowing the hours they worked? 🤔

Good for Drew. What a wonderful example she is setting

*Did she end up getting her GED in the end, or not yet? Can't find it online...*

Wow ❤ jesus i think i understand 🙏

You better work! Super model

I love love love drew she is an amazing person and so real, love her. Did I say that already xxxxx

Best wishes you continue to inspire and uplift.

Good for her😁

Totally thought you had already 🤔 better late than never

the journey of success :-)

You got this, Drew! I did it when I was 19, I didn’t have any educational career from K-12. Somehow, I passed. I wish you the best on your journey.

Wow... I have to say.... I produce TV and this was seriously touching... it's so wonderful to see this kind of segment on a talk show. xo
