I have got myself into a very bad situation. I am 16 years old and due to missing about 4 years of school have only got G grades in my GCSEs (apart from getting a C grade in English) .I wondeed what my options are in terms of going to college? Do they have any courses for people in my situation? If so then what are they (called)? Can anyone tell me a bit about them? and what can someone progress to from these courses?
Also….I have heard they run a few random GCSE subjects (mainly English and maths) at college? please be honest…would doing GCSE courses at college be suitable for someone in my situation? If so then how many subjects and what subjects should I take? and for how long? Also I wouldn’t have a clue how to put a timetable of these subjects together (how to link them) etc…. so what can I do about this??(expecially if they are at different colleges) If I got G grades in my GCSEs ….what sort of a grade do you think I’d get at the end of a few 1 yr GCSE course subjects sat at college?please be honest. and what could I progress to after the GCSE courses?
Can anyone out there help me? I feel really frightened about my future and no-one at home will help me.
Does getting G grades mean that I have no future worth living?
Or that I will never get a well-paid job?
please help!!!!!
Answer:
Everyone has a future worth living. Are you in England? I'm not sure I understand the system (GCSE) that you are referring to. But I can tell you that bad grades do not mean you won't get anywhere. You may have to start at a small college, like a community college, but a year of really applying yourself and getting good marks there may be enough to work your way into a better school. And regardless of education, you can make something of yourself in this world if you are ambitious enough. Plenty of people out there have done well with no school whatsoever. Don't lose faith!! Keep trying!!! I also updated your links, to the right. Some of them look quite helpful.
Answer:
i cant promise you that it will work but try to get your g.e.d. first and from there you can try to go to a community college which will normally have some sort of career oriented program that will set you up with a reasonable job.... hope that helps
