The questions I was asked when I had to repeat my final year of secondary school are where I hope to draw a lesson from. I was asked questions like ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ

โ€œArenโ€™t you worried about your colleagues becoming your seniors?โ€

โ€œWonโ€™t you graduate school late?โ€

Fast forward to 2022 and repeating that final year of secondary school is one of the best decisions I have ever made. In fact, since 2018:

๐Ÿš€ I have met supportive teachers who have written incredible recommendations for me that have helped me win over $ 23,000 in awards at Toronto Metropolitan University โ€“ Research and Innovation.

๐Ÿš€ I have founded IBS Consulting which recently came into its six figure year and is the current employer of 7 amazing people.

๐Ÿš€ I have interviewed and been shortlisted at some of the worldโ€™s most prestigious firms including Latham & Watkins, Dentons and Norton Rose Fulbright. Currently, I have upcoming group sessions at all 5 Magic Circle law firms in the UK.

*The picture below is me with the 3 medals I won at my secondary school graduation after coming in as the second student with the highest graduating GPA*

Besides, there is no reward for graduating within a certain number of years so take the time you need. Who cares if you graduate โ€˜lateโ€™ anyways? Do you !
