Honestly, if I hear anymore talk about exam results I might just throw up but I had a few lil thoughts on the matter that I wanted to discuss. I'm definitely one of those people who does not view exam results as the be all and end all, but I can see why people care about their grades so much. However, as someone who finds even the small things in life extremely challenging, aiming for an A in a School class is not my priority. I am pleased with all my results, despite two of them being below a C. The B I got was in Religious Studies, the only exam that actually counts to my final result. For me, an E in History and a D in English is not something to cry about. Not really one to have a pity party, but I did have the shittiest year imaginable so to even get a mark per paper seems like a fricking miracle. I know I am not dumb and 100% capable of achieving higher than BED at the end of year 13. I didn't work hard enough, so the results I got were what I was expecting. I will work harder next year because despite detesting the fact that my intelligence seems to be defined by a few letters on a flimsy bit of paper I will probably lose in a few years time, I appreciate I need some qualifications to get somewhere in life. I don't want to go to university so that pressure is gone, but I know I am good at my subjects. I hate that I am almost questioning my intelligence because of school, when surely it should affirm my self-worth more than anything. End of the story, Jeremy Clarkson, J.K Rowling and Russell Brand all fucked up their A-Levels and are doing pretty well now, so who knows.
