I’m clinging to the fact you got through it!

Although I love your sense of humour about it as well. We’d already had a few stressful years where my son did drop out of school in Year 10, tried other options, came back to it and got through at last – BIG relief, and he’s now at Uni and figuring out where he’s heading in life.

Having dropped out of school myself in year 11, I was almost relaxed about the whole saga because I knew there were alternate pathways to getting to where he wanted to be, but he was s till stressed, and it’s certainly true that getting the ATAR you need makes it easier.

Good luck with it all, I’m cheering you all on.
