Hi
I'm studying my A levels and with exams very quickly approaching I'm realising more and more how much I do not enjoy sixth form and how much pressure I am putting on myself to do well at something I don't like. I've been looking at HE courses but the colleges don't really explain exactly what they are and what they lead to. I have my GCSE's (A*-B grades) which are fairly good, but then my AS levels are going quite terribly. I don't want to start all over again next year at all and that's why I was thinking about taking a different route. If I pass my AS in biology and psychology then I will probably stay on at sixth form to finish the final year; however if I don't, then I think it would be safer if I left. I am a volunteer at a hospital and I also help out at a nursery. I really enjoy helping people and making a difference which is why I'm aiming towards midwifery, nursing or something in this area.
I'm just not sure whether a HE course in Health and Social care is worth considering (I am currently doing a BTEC in Health and Social which I enjoy).
Thank - you so much !
