She got average GCSES including a C in Maths which I think would hinder her chances of getting into a 'good' university.
She's very dligent but I wouldn't describe her as a self-starter. She has no idea what she wants to do as a career She is obsessed with riding her horse and would probably be happy being a groom somewhere but she needs to be able to earn a decent living. She's talked about teaching and has volunteered in a school which she really enjoyed.
Other kids in her year seem much more driven. She wants to do well and works hard (got an E in maths mock and worked so so hard to get it up to a C).
She has changed school for 6th form and they do seem quite switched on when it comes to careers talks. At her last school we paid £60 for a careers session - got a book back listing all the things that she SAID she was good at and they said she should be a Doctor she was predicted Bs and Cs at GSCE, but because she said she liked biology thats what they came up with
We always assumed she would go to uni but I am wondering whether it will be the best place for her.
