While in the middle of year 12, it's hard to remember that there is more to life than study. Yes, study is a big component to your year, but there are many other things in life that are difficult to see when we're in the thick of it.
We get so consumed by what is going on in our current life, that we essentially forget why we are in fact studying. Don't get me wrong, part of study and schooling is to give us opportunities in the future, whether that be getting into a university course or a job. But there is more to study than just that...
Here's the thing- in 10, 20, 30 years time, you won't remember what marks you received, or what ATAR you achieved. But here's what you will remember- whether you gave it your all in Year 12 and worked to the best of your abilities. If you do that, irrespective of what marks you achieve, you can be damn proud of yourself. This is the lesson of school. To learn how to persevere, be resilient, focus and stand up for what you believe in. These are skills that you will carry for the rest of your life.
Remember, see the bigger picture and how school will influence your future. Take the skills learnt from school and apply it to life. And be proud of what you have achieved to get to where you are now. So, work to the best of your abilities through study so in 30 years, you can be proud of everything you have learnt and achieved.
