For all the students getting their CSEC & CAPE Results, here are my CXC Results (I think ).

1 - IT
2 - Math
B - Add Maths
3 - Spanish
3 - English
3 - Biology
4 - Physics
4 - Chemistry

I re-sat Physics & Chemistry and got 3s I think.

I flunked out of UTECH in 2nd year...

with a GPA at the end of Year 2, semester 1 of GPA of 0.71 (I think).

I ended up getting a partial music scholarship to a college in FL and told them I had no grades to transfer, so I had to start over.

That I did.

When I went to college in FL, I had been through so much shame that I was ready to buckle down.

So I ended up with:

- BA in Comp. Sci, minor in Spanish (in 3.5 years)
- MBA with a concentration in Finance (while working and helping my pregnant wife study).

My CXC grades were a source of shame for me for years, but by God’s grace I got a second chance.

My CAPE results were a bit better, but nothing to write home about.

So, for everyone that may be discouraged by your results, this is not the end of your chapter.

I found my love for Economics while doing my MBA.

I have always loved Finance, but that degree sealed it for me.

Even though I did a Comp. Sci degree, I taught myself “true” software development after my MBA.

So the world is your oyster and if one path doesn’t work, it’s ok to feel down for a little but just know that we are all trying to figure it out too.

Life isn’t a straight line. Many twists and turns.

So don’t beat yourself up too much when you hit a bump. Just keep going.

Also, congrats to all the students that got great results. I am happy for you too
