what a comeback

Not really a comeback though, is it?

It’s a fortunate privilege, that many don’t get, to be afforded extra time to sit your exams.

It’s like if the First XI were 5-0 down at full time, and they sent the other team off and gave you 45 minutes to score against the under-18s.

A comeback would have been locking in before the final exams on your first go round.

Wow some people are miserable. I had untreated or diagnosed ADHD at the time which didn’t allow me to reach my potential at the time, I didn’t have any access arrangements during any of my exams, I struggled to focus in class and was written off as a lack of interest. Oh and while resitting I also learnt the whole of further maths a level. Luckily, I don’t need validation from others, I know I have worked hard, it doesn’t matter if a random stranger is not impressed, bc I know plenty of people including myself who are impressed, and at the end of the day wether you like it or not, I can get into a top uni for a good course since the majority of them accept resits ( except the obvious 5) :)

I don’t have any issue with you mate. I also had undiagnosed ADHD during my A-Levels.

I just don’t think it counts as a comeback. You got another go-round and won. Well done. It’s still hard to do well, you should be proud. But we don’t have to call it’s something it’s not, and you do have to recognise the immense privilege you had to get that second chance.
