A local Betootan school leaver has confirmed today that she is very much looking forward to the week ahead.
Recently completing her secondary schooling at a local high school in Betoota Heights, Brydie Hammersmith is heading out of town next year to study at UTS Insearch – but not before a Christmas/New Year of unwanted questions about the dismal ATAR she received.
The soon to be uni-student explained to The Advocate today, that she can’t wait to field question after question from her relatives about how she went in her final school exams.
“It’s going to be great, dealing with uncle Bruce and aunty Alison’s conversation starters that remind me about how badly I bombed out,” she said.
“Explaining how appallingly I did in my exams over and over again to random relatives while my parents grimace through the whole conversation is going to be awesome,” she laughed.
“I can’t wait for my obnoxiously conceited cousin Gwen whose studying Medicine to prod into ‘how it all went wrong,’ and offer me life advice I am not interested in whatsoever.”
Hammersmith, who didn’t quite get the ATAR she was hoping for, mostly because she maintained ‘a healthy social life’ during Year 12, told us that she is preparing to be peppered with the same questions over the next few days.
“Look, I didn’t get an ideal ATAR to be honest,” she laughed.
“But I guess that’s what happens when you have friends who like to enjoy themselves a little rather than plugging themselves into the system and losing years of their life in an effort to get a high ATAR.”
“So that’s the price you pay when you don’t sit through 2 hours of tutoring after school threes days a week, but it’s all good, I’m heading out of town and going down south anyway.”
“I got accepted into a UTS Insearch diploma, which means I’ll be able to get into the UTS degree I wanted anyway! ‘ Hammersmith said.
