00:00I've passed everything except drug-free but apparently I'm one more test and I'm going to re-market to see if I can't get a pass.
00:08I've passed everything other than history and I've got a 9 in health and fitness.
00:15I feel like I did probably the best I could have done but considering my circumstances I could have done better.
00:25What were those circumstances?
00:27I was in hospital for half a year. I had Crohn's so everything just stopped working and I had to go out of school and focus on other things.
00:39I still took my exams even though I was ill and managed to pass so that's a relief.
00:46I'll have to do my English and Maths again but not too bad.
00:51So as you said due to those circumstances you've done really well.
00:55Yeah, considering I didn't really know what was going on.
01:00So how long were you in and out of hospital and what were you revising?
01:07I kept on going in and out maybe weeks at a time. I didn't go to school for half a year and I basically did no revision.
01:22My Spanish teacher brought me loads of Maths papers, all the assignments and stuff so I managed to get a little bit of revision.
01:33But considering I wasn't in school, I had to go off to college to do engineering.
01:41I was going into the army but not anymore.
01:46It's just things like when you'd go home after an exam, especially TikTok as well, you'd see all the mark schemes and you'd have everyone discussing it.
01:52And I definitely made that a lot worse just because you'd think, oh God I haven't done well.
01:55And then obviously you can't fix it, you can't change it so you're stuck there and you're like, oh God.
01:59Luckily, hopefully people didn't worry too much.
02:02But no, I think that was a big thing, especially social media, just being a bit of a trap.
02:06You're stuck on it and you just keep seeing it everywhere.
02:08Even today everyone was just talking about it.
02:10But I'm happy with what I got and I'm satisfied.
02:14I think everyone had different views on each paper.
02:16So if you found a paper hard and then you got home and people were all saying it was really easy,
02:20it's really like you can put yourself down for it but you might have done better than you think.
02:24And the wait time between doing your exam and getting your result, that's when it really gets you I think.
02:30Because all you can think about is how did I do and then you see other people doing well and it's like, well I don't know how I did.
