HSC Journal- No Idea How This Is Going to Go...

Sounds like you've got a really concrete game plan. This is fantastic!! You are certainly going to see some amazing improvement with such a well thought out game-plan. My only advice would be, and it seems you are already planning on this, get loads of feedback. Seriously, feedback is so underrated, you can't just be writing essays and guessing, "Yeah, that was probably okay." Huge lost opportunity to improve. Make sure you stick to your guns and put everything through a red pen, whether it's a teacher, a peer, or us ;D
And yep, happy to help with Coop! Will probably start a thread for it in the UNSW section because I think there are a few aspiring Coops on here :)

Hi guys!
Here is another update. So today, I went to the Western Sydney Careers Expo with my school! And it was pretty okay! I was so glad to be missing out on school to look at career options. It was definitively something I wanted to focus on particularly, because I wanted to particularly know all the different options and pathways I had in order to do the course I want.
So we got there around 9 or 10. The expo was so jam packed with stalls that I immediately lost track of where my friends went and just went for the stalls I was interested in. Normally, I would hate being alone because I love spending time with my friends, but today it actually felt really nice just to go by myself to all the stalls I was interested and seek out my options. I was able to talk to the ambassadors as much as I wanted without feeling obligated to decline just cause of a friend, and I was able to seek out information specific to what I wanted quickly. That being said, I did miss the presence of my friends as I walked around.
So the first stall I basically went to was UNSW- obvio- seeing as it was a uni I definitely wanted to go to. I wanted specifically more info on the Co-Op program. I was hoping to see a Co-Op scholar there to give me advice. But another guy talked to me for a long time about the Co-Op and what was expected of me if I got past the interview stage, and I must say I was quite intimidated. Apparently its really intense, you get sponsors from big companies interviewing you. Oh well, still gonna apply. Nothing can be accomplished if you give into fear 8)
So I spent literally four hours just wandering around, talking to so many people about my options, and honestly, those hours were well spent, because I learned so much! There are courses that I really want to do that don't even require a high ATAR (around 60) or even any ATAR at all, just my passion and willingness to see it through. this one guy I met talked to me about a course that I could do at a private college that is geared towards entrepreneurship and learning about business, and they don't even care about my ATAR! They have a high employment success rate (around 92%) and he can vouch for it being successful in developing entrepreneurial skills as he has started a business himself! God it was so amazing and freeing to find options where my capability is not defined by the four digit number I get at the end of Year 12. I can pretty much not do anything in Year 12 and still end up studying the course I want and achieving the skills I want! Not that I am going to do that though! I am still going to work my ass off and do as well as I can for Year 12, so I can get into my dream course with no regrets! But still, it is awesome knowing that I am not defined by my academics.
At the end of it though I got so tired, and my arms started hurting because I was carrying so many course guides from all the different unis. I am currently at home, and preparing for my two assessments (legal and bio) for tomorrow. I lowkey wanna die cause I hate legal so much and I really want to drop before trials because I don't want to study for it.
Speaking of trials, we got our exam timetable and I am already feeling so scared for it! I will start studying for it tomorrow!
Anyways, bye for now!
