i think the girl in thid video really helps me to understand Maria and her dreaded exams. If I let my children take the exams I hope they will have a positive escape from school

I am in the same boast as Maria, with GCSE's looming. Personally I too find playing in a brass band a fantastic thing to do when exam pressure is on because it gets you away from the stress of school work and revision for the 5 hours a week or so you are at these practises where you can both socialise with your mates and have a fun time playing the music. Any hobby, of course, would be ideal where you can just go and have a good time which will take your mind off exam pressure. Recommended!

Hello, Maria, watched your video today and liked it for its personal aspects,don't worry to much. Keep my fingers crossed for you. If you want to go to the univ. you should always realize that you'll end up in a job as well. I think looking into jobs as a volunteer is also very good, or earning money while studying. Gives youa better idea what the jobs are about and sometimes end in a job offer. Anyway, keep a stiff upper lip, have fun with your brass. Love, Iris
