Best of Luck to our 2022 Leaving Cert Class tomorrow morning

All Leaving Cert students will be awaiting the results of their LC Exams tomorrow morning. Whatever happens, whatever points you get, it is important to remember that you have a future ahead of you. College is not for everyone, working for a year or more, gaining experiences to help you learn your own strengths and weaknesses then deciding to follow that pathway, these are all options for everyone. People who get 550 points may not necessarily get the course they wanted, which will seem strange and almost arrogant to someone who struggled to get 350 points, but it is important to try to adopt a logical approach to whatever it is that you do get tomorrow morning. Not getting that course you think will be amazing may be the best thing that happens to you and it will not be obvious to you for some time, even years. Opportunities will present themselves to you in the next few weeks, months and years. Be awake to them. Talk to people you trust about the choices you make. Don't follow someone to Galway or Dublin because of a a friendship or relationship - the start of college life is often a time when the paths of people go in different directions and decisions which seemed great can leave you feeling let down. Make your choices based on your dreams, suitability to your family's ability to support you, how you will travel and live, and what you really want to do - not what someone expects you to become. Be brave, find your voice. And, as a parent with experience of this, if you are going to change or drop a course - know when the last date to do so is when you can still keep your fees intact for another year - or you will end up paying full fees when and if you begin again next September. Avoid this if possible. There is something for everyone in this world. You will forget what points you get in a few years as you will have gained so much experience, strength and confidence by then. The secret is to keep going, don't let one or two obstacles stop you. Have a good life lads!
