A note to everyone on AN

[lala1911]

First off, congratulations and condolences to those who received their ATARs today. I hope you all achieved your goals and I really do mean that. My experience on this forum has been great because of all of you guys. The help that I've received has been incredible and without it I wouldn't have achieved what I scored today. It helped me stay alert about the competition that I was oblivious to.
I've never met such dedicated people in my life. To this day, I'm still astonished by the dedication of many students on this forum. Some of you people are so dedicated it amazes me.

I've a net total of 30k posts on all the forums that I post on and this is definitely the most purposeful forum that I use.  This is more than a forum to many. It's revolutionised how school should be viewed by students, as it can turn bludgers into dedicated students. It's a place for students to get together with like-minded people.

To those who didn't achieve your score, remember a score can define your academic achievement but not your success in life. I know that a lot of you need high ATARs for your courses, but don't let one negative mishap prevent you from living that dream. A good ATAR provides you with a concrete smooth pass, but if you really want to do something you'll scratch and claw to even get that one opportunity.

~~ Special thanks to: ~~
Monsieur Kebab for tolerating with my nonsense constantly
MJRomeo81 for being helpful
Alandouek for being helpful
michak for helping me with my Sem1 P.E SACs
Stevensmay and HighLatency for discussing *censored* with me on IRC
LeviLamp, even though you may dislike me, for helping me realise how I approach things in life - this is true
laseredd for that I.T exam package
Everyone in IRC - thank you for making it active and enjoyable
The people who shared the free resources, thank you very much
Everyone else that has made my experience pleasant - sorry if I missed anyone

On a final note, stay dedicated during these holidays. I fear regret, so to prevent regret act in a way that can satisfy your desire to be succeed. Do what you need to prepare for uni (or any other further education or work) and enjoy the ride with me.

Hope to stay around to help future students.
