I'm so lost

Hi everyone,

To start off a bit of background about me. I am currently 16 years old (shortly 17) and doing a City & Guilds Level 3 IT apprenticeship.

I have decided to change my route of apprenticeships to A-Levels. The reason for this is I in a way want to prove to myself that I can do much better academically. I would also like to keep my options open so for this reason I will be leaving my apprenticeship. Long story short, I realised that I want to study and not work as I'm still very young and got my whole life ahead of me.

The current problem I'm having is choosing the A-Levels I should study. There are several subjects I had in mind like : Photography, Computing, Physics, Psychology and Product Design.

I'm not really sure as to what career I would like to do, but what I have on my mind is to become software/hardware engineer.

These are my grades that I achieved during 2016 june exams :

English Language : D
English Literature : C
RE : D
Business Studies : C
Core Science : B
Additional Science : C
Spanish : C
Computing : B
Product Design : B
Maths : C (11 marks of a B)

I know I could have done much better, but the issue lies in me maturing too late. I know this may sound silly but I was so childish back then and thought who cares about school. It is now hitting me hard and I wish I could have done better.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Believe I have looked at so many websites and the problem I'm having right now is that I don't have the full entry requirements. E.g. For A level maths they want a B which I only have a C in. I am pretty doomed and is there a way kind of around it? I really feel that I can do much better than I did at GCSE's
