So 8/8/17 was results day in Scotland. I wasn't nervous, I just wanted them to see if I had proved a certain teacher wrong. I got ABC (!!) with my C being my advanced higher, so I'm damn pleased about it! However, there's still the overall feeling of dislike for some of my teachers, as my art teacher in particular, did not see me passing the course. She didn't think I was worth even a C. She didn't think I could balance coursework, work and any other extra curricular activities, and downright was a horrible bitch to me all year. And yet, I get a B in her class. B. Higher art is allegedly super hard to get a good mark, and yet, I get the second highest award (as did lots of people I know nd I'm super proud of us all). After a whole year of putting me down, don't expect me to let you run back tail between legs saying "I knew you could do it! :)" because you didn't. On a similar note, I did the same with Bio last year. I had gotten a C in Nat 5, and the head of department outright told me I wouldn't get a B at higher human. I fucking did. So why do teachers doubt you so much? I get the whole negative attitude to trigger determination, but at the same time I think it's the most horrible thing ever, being told that there is little chance of hope that you would pass? The only reason I studied at was to spite my art teacher, and I worked my butt off in bio BC I enjoyed it the most.
