For the A-Level students in my constituency, that wait will be over. Later this week, our GCSE students will get their final results. I am pleased that so many of our students have already done well and I am hopeful that there are many more who will receive excellent results this week. While there is always hope for those of us who aren’t model students, doing well in your studies is the best way to get a good start in life. But as I often say, “Hard work beats raw talent.” If you are not a gifted individual, hard work can still get you ahead.
Sadly, however, some people will be disappointed with the results they have received and might not make the university of their choosing. Luckily, since I went to school, far more options have opened up and it’s not just about getting a university degree anymore.
