I decided to film this video because I know that for those of you in Australia, you are currently doing your HSC exams and are probably mighty stressed about what happens afterwards. I am here to let you know that even though you might not get the marks you want, you can still do all of the things you aspired to do!
The HSC is not the only pathway to university if that is what you want - If you have the determination to do something, you can and will do it! My story proves just that and there are so many people out there with stories like mine!
I should of mentioned in my video that my brother also did not complete his HSC, instead he did an apprenticeship and is now in university studying construction management.. Of me and my two siblings, the only one of us that actually finished the HSC has not gone to university!
Take everything your teachers tell you about ATARs with a grain of salt - its their jobs to tell you that the HSC is one of the most important things you will do in your life even though it isn't necessarily true!
If you would prefer to watch the video on the YouTube site you can click here, as usual!
My three main tips are :
1. Your ATAR does not define your success in the HSC - It is merely a ranking of you vs. your cohort.
2. There are other pathways to university - Look into them if you are concerned you wont get in with your HSC marks!
3. Don't go to university because everyone else is and you feel like its expected!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy - and for those of you who are doing your HSC, I hope you found this helpful and good luck!
