Am I good enough?

I'm not book smart and I'm not practically clever and I kind of feel like rubbish and I feel like I'll get nowhere in life as I'm not bright. I have a big confidence issue and struggle with this daily I'm even put off going uni thinking I'm not clever enough and I should just stick to retail all my life as I'll never succeed.

I am 17; approaching 18 in May. I suffered from bullying, panic attacks, severe depression, self harm whilst taking my GCSE's in 2016. I couldn't of cared what my grades were, my health was my focus. I left with 1 GCSE in Geography and 1 BTEC in ICT.

I started at college and starting studying cabin crew there, as I have a passion for aviation. At the summer of 2017 I left college with qualifications in cabin crew, customer service and I got my maths GCSE.

I enrolled again in September 2017 to start studying a qualification in aviation operations. In December 2017, I started volunteering at the airport as a customer helper, which I had to pass all the very strict security checks.

I am still studying aviation operations at college, but have managed to get myself a job working for Jet2 as a dispatcher in May this year, when my course finishes. Bearing in mind this will be my first ever job and will only have 2 GCSE's, NOT including English, as I won't be able to sit the exam this year.

They purely hired me, because I showed commitment and dedication. As long as you show dedication and work as hard as possible, you will never fail. Only what you do from this day now, will determine your fate. I hope this helps, I know how it feels, truly. All my best goes to you and hopefully you will do well now :

What university?

Thanks for sharing your storey I'm so happy for you! For you to take control in your life and not let your grades get you down is so good I think with me is that I'm scared of failure and rejection as I can find it difficult to recover from but you have not let that affect you
