I didn't even get good grades but managed to study until I was 19. I could have gone further but decided to quit. I kind of regret that as the thing I studied the jobs no longer exist. I only just literally managed to get my foot in. I'm stuck. <br /><br />I would tell my younger self to study anything but to stay in education as a couple of years later the government will no longer provide free education for full time students over 18. Also I'd have better job opportunities.Bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969241757724716562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-64488166745384776402013-08-27T03:03:13.464+10:002013-08-27T03:03:13.464+10:00I wish I had participated in more activities!

Interesting that you have a choice to get a certificate at grade 10 and can chose to continue or not to grade 12. Here, we have to go all the way to 12th grade. If I could go back and tell myself something I'd say to enjoy it more, learn more and don't worry about all the crap that seemed so important then. Fun topic to think about! Thanks for sharing it.

But it all turned out well. I have a nice life.
