even if you have - and the chances are you've done better than you think! - it's fixable. Believe me, I left school with 4 GCSEs at C or above, and I dropped out of 6th form to go to college. I worked like a dog, but I got qualified in what I wanted to be (art, much to the horror of my parents!) and with a bit of going around the houses and a 3 year break from education after uni, I went back and requalified as a teacher in 2006. I'm now a fully qualified teacher in my 2nd year of teaching, and I don't regret a thing! I can highly reccomend speaking to Learn Direct, they were very helpful and supportive, (whatever your results) if you decide to continue in education. (But only do that if you really want to carry on in education, I really enjoyed having a good break from it, and very nearly didn't go back at all!) Good luck!
Hey, thanks for the advice, and the wish of good luck! really appreciate it Your story has rather inspired me I suppose if you want something hard enough and work at it, you'll succeed, as your story illustarted. I do get "if I fail it's the end of the world" thoughts now and agian, because my Uni place is at stake I suppose (I've envisaged myself going to Uni since I was about 7! lol). But there's always re-sits and returning to college to re-do a-levels, so i''ll achieve my goals eventually...I hope!
