After all the worrying, waiting and wanting I've finally received my A-level results.
My hard work really did pay off. I have achieved an A* in Sociology, an A in Media and a B in Photography.
I am ecstatic! I cannot believe that my hopes were not only fulfilled but completely smashed.
Even as I write this a few hours later my hands are still shaking and the funny feeling in my tummy is racing at 100 mile an hour.
The true extent of my achievement hasn't actually settled in.
An A*, wow, if I'd told myself a year ago that I was going to be Northfleet School for Girls highest academic achiever in less than 12 months I would've laughed in my own face.
But here I am, unable to wipe the smile of my face as my family and teachers applauded and congratulated me on my enormous accomplishment.

I'm just so thrilled that I've been able to prove myself wrong and make my family, peers and teachers even more proud of me than they already were.
I am so so proud of all my friends for how hard they've worked and for all they have achieved.
All of them have such bright futures ahead of them and I am so pleased that I got to witness and be apart of their journey.

I still can't believe that this important chapter of my life has come to end.
To have it end on such a high is such a tremendous feeling and I can't wait to celebrate with my family and friends.
I am aware that unfortunately everyone hasn't achieved the grades that they'd hoped for.
But no matter what letter or grade was printed on that results sheet, it does not define you.
You have so much to look forward and no matter where you go or what you do, your futures will be bright.
