Ds underperformed in his a levels and got 2 Cs. He also got a grade A epq and a Distinction for a A level equivalent Btec. He was rejected from his first choice uni and made his insurance. He was really gutted at first but is now happy and looking forward to it.
I'm feeling meh and worried for him. I think he really struggles with exams and I'm not sure how well he will cope with uni exams. The uni he's going to is in the top 15 for his course and we liked it at open day so I'm not sure why i feel sad about it. I am surrounded by high achievers in my family - nephews and nieces off to oxbridge, warwick, Edinburgh etc. Which doesn't help.
Ds is a lovely, happy, positive person with a good work ethic. I think if he'd got his predicted Bs we would both be feeling a bit better. I just can't help feeling a bit flat about the whole thing.
Anyone else?
