A level results have been published. I had an unconditional offer for Leeds Metropolitan University to study Media and Popular Culture confirmed earlier in the year but I have still been worried about today. That's because the destiny of my partner would be confirmed, her placement at Liverpool John Moores University was conditional and dependent on results. I awoke early and nervously waited for the phone call to learn the outcome. My heart pounded when the phone started ringing, I felt confident based on her relaxed attitude and conversations with her over the last few months. As she started speaking I could feel the emotion in the tone of her voice, her disappointment was obvious and I found it difficult to remain composed.
This was important and not being there for support was made harder because she was so upset! Her heart was set on Liverpool John Moores University, before I arrived on the scene but I know how much it meant. Although she missed the grades for her first choice university, she received an offer from her second choice; Leeds Metropolitan University. She's happy to have a place, especially considering the competition, but this has always been her experience, her dream and I don't want to become a distraction. There may still be a chance for her to be accepted at Liverpool John Moores University, but whatever happens I don't feel our relationship will be disruptive. I'm attending higher education for the experience, to make friends and gain a degree in Media and Popular Culture, being close to her is a benefit. Destiny may be seen either as a sequence of events that is inevitable and unchangeable, or that individuals choose their own destiny by choosing different paths throughout their life. It is said that the different courses of action people take may still lead to a predetermined destiny...
