Best piece of advice you wish you could have given yourself in Grade 12
A piece of advice that I’d give grade 12 me would be that it’s okay to not know what I want to do with my life! There is so much that I have learned about myself throughout my university experience and there is still so much more to discover! It’s just important to work hard and believe in myself!
