Mostly As: Hard work pays off. You can proudly say that despite the struggles that often comes with being a teenager, you pushed through and was able to succeed in your studies the way you’ve always wanted. You shocked your teachers, your parents and, most of all, yourself. And now you are most certain that nothing can hold you back.

Mostly Bs: I know my vision. There are many things we each can do in this lifetime. Some of those aspiration­s you weren’t sure of, but now that you have discovered more about who are and what you are all about, it can be concluded that you now have a vision and a goal that will burn in you until it’s fulfilled.

Mostly Cs: Priorities. This school year wasn’t the easiest. You lost friends and gain some. It’s a cycle of life, and it’s comforting that you now know what should be your main priorities in life as a young adult. Keep fighting!
