well, take me for example.
Now I am serving NS. Having done badly in my A levels, I have to
admit...I am pretty lost: Not being sure whether the universities
will accept me, whether I should retake the A's, or go for a
polytechnic education, or go overseas, or sign on the army,
or...
My memory of the past takes me to the more glorious and
high-achieving days of primary and secondary school. I did not have
to worry about my next step...after all, I was doing well, so
well....
It's certainly a painful lesson not to have done well enough to set
oneself a vision, a goal to look forward to. What if I don't get
accepted into my choice institutions? I'd be even more lost than I
am already... 
Anyone feels the same way, any thoughts to share, advice?
