We caught up with Holly who is the perfect example of determination and perseverance!
I started GCSE English at the College in 2015. I failed it.
I tried again in 2017 and failed, by 1 mark. It broke my heart as I’d tried so hard. I’d come in with a fresh mind, fresh stationary and a determination to pass. I can remember opening those results and crying. I told Hannah I couldn’t keep failing.
In 2018 I went back with the mindset ‘if I don’t pass this time, I’ll take a break.’ Hannah said “this year we are going to give it everything we’ve got. We’re not going through last year again!”
I went to every class. I asked every question I thought of. I gave it everything I had, and it worked.
I passed. I remember the moment I opened those results; Hannah standing next to me, beaming with happiness. After all the effort, the tears and struggles; I’d finally passed it.
Passing GCSE English was the best achievement I’ve ever made. It has opened up so many doors for me. I passed my driving test, first time, shortly after and now I have a full-time job working as an Administrator in the NHS.
I can’t thank Hannah and Lisa enough for all the help they gave me!
