journey of an aspiring med student

hey guys!
i'm in year 12 and i just thought that i would start a thread to keep me motivated and also to encourage other aspiring med students that we've got this. my targets for the end of year 13 are:
biology- A*
chemistry- A*
maths- A

maths is currently my weakest subject so i need to put in a lot more effort but i'm aiming to get an A because i know that i can truly do it and to also prove my maths teacher wrong.
