Post gcse self experience

I know I'm a tab late but I feel like I should share my experience post gcses to help those of you whom didn't get needed grades

I failed all my gcses (didn't get grade 4 in any) and I had to resit my English gcse 2 times and my maths 3 times

I then couldn't get an apprenticeship so I went down a different career path and struggled to get in so I went back to college and got a partial credit in acces course (due to poor mh) however since then I've basically gotten into my dream job and I got offers to university todo sendi with foundation year in 2025 (I chose to defer)

In September I'm starting my level 2 in youth work and will hopefully then do my level 3 in youthwork before I go to uni

Keep in mind i left school with no gcses
