Hello Readers,
Today is a big day for a lot of teens around the UK as it
is GCSE results day. Good luck to everyone. Everyone who is picking up your
results today I hope you get the grades you want or what is required for you to
move on to higher education. However, if they are not what you expected you
have not failed and your life will not be defined by this moment unless you let
it.
We’re going to get a little personal before I went to
pick up my GCSE’s I was determined I was going to be forensic anthropologist
believe it or not. However, I still had a pulling inside that it wasn’t the
correct choice for me so I change my A-level equivalent B-Tecs to focus on a
different subject that’s felt right at the time. It wants until I was choosing
where to go for my degree that I truly felt like I knew what I was doing. Turns
out I didn’t. After graduation, I realised what I enjoyed about my degree was
the writing and the research for each unit and that little niggle in the back
of my brain I had since year 10 was to write. I have always loved writing and
English was one of my favourite subjects. My highest GCSE grades where in
subjects I had to write detailed answers. From the age of 13 I had a notebook I
would be writing anything in, any small stories I thought of or little bits of
poetry.
The point I’m trying to make is, it doesn’t matter what
grades you get today. People I went to school with who were on a set career
paths to be teachers are now nurses, people who wanted to do hairdressing are
now SENI teachers, there is even one of the lads who wanted to be a builder who
is now a stockbroker in London. Your GCSEs and today does not define the rest
of your life.
