When I was at secondary school, l went to all the lessons and did my homework, but I didn't work very hard. So, when I took exams at 16, my results weren't fantastic. I passed six, which was good, but I failed maths. My worst result was physics - I got a grade E, which was terrible. After that, I went to a sixth form college where l worked hard and did well. I passed all my exams at 18 and went to university. That's where I am now.
