Dear students,
I understand how you feel about your bleak future given a
not-so-desirable A-level result. Go on to embrace your worry,
uncertainty, disappointment, sadness, etc. for a short while,
and pick yourself up when you are ready to move on and take
the next step.
I would strongly encourage you to try to apply for the
courses you want to study (despite the odds of not getting them and
that you may have to appeal) and ponder hard over
feasible alternatives as well. Alternatives could be your
other interest areas (or strengths you may have) or routes
that may take a slightly longer time for you to achieve your
ambitions. Always remember that what matters ultimately is
that you reach your destination(s) eventually.
Let me share with you a nice quote from the book
'The Alchemist' which has given me much inspiration and optimism
ever since I left the teaching service to walk a path that is
less trodden: 'When you want something, all the universe conspires
in helping you to achieve it'.
Jiayou and stay hopeful always, thanks!
P.S. I strongly encourage you to read 'The Alchemist'. I
have the softcopy, which I'll be happy to share with you (thus
you save $$$) via email. Thanks!
Cheers,
Wen Shih
