Hey everyone!
As SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) results day approaches, I wanted to create a supportive thread to all of you who are receiving your results today.
I know that results day can be a mix of excitement and nervousness, but remember that whatever the outcome, you are amazing, capable, and your worth is not defined by a set of grades.
If you're looking for support today, we're here for you at The Mix. Reach out to the community here or head over to our website to get in touch with our helpline team.
I've also listed below additional place you can reach out to for support:
However you're feeling today, remember you're not alone

However you're feeling today, remember you're not alone
Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤
