The Grade 12 results have been announced, and important decisions are needed regarding the career journey ahead for high school graduates (and their families) – decisions that will have an important effect on your future career-life.
This article aims to provide a guideline to help you negotiate your career crossroads by embracing positivity and hope as your constant companions.
- Coping with inadequate performance in Grade 12 examinations
Congratulations are due to students who achieved the necessary marks for admission to their chosen institutions and study fields. But for those who have not (yet) attained your desired marks: Relax. There are still many reasons to remain positive and optimistic about the future.
Before we proceed: Please discard the term ‘fail’ from your vocabulary. Instead, use the phrase ‘insufficient achievement’.
Students’ current marks may influence their acceptance into their preferred field of study, but they certainly do not determine your overall success in life or limit your career prospects.
