expectations, or• You are worried / upset because your results fall short of
your expectations.
Remember that everyone’s learning journey is different but we can have a fulfilling outcome!

Think through the different options that are available for you. Keep things in perspective. Remember that N-Level is just one part of your life journey and not the destination.
Approach a trusted adult and seek his/her help. Have aconversation with this person about what would be best for you.Make a decision based on your options and take action.
