SOCIETY SCRAPBOOK - athlete postpones seeing A-level results

To ensure there are no distractions, she will not find out her exam results until she returns home. "I wrote a letter giving my mum permission to get them," she says. "But I've told her not to open the envelope. I don't think I could cope. I think if I open it, I can break the news gently to my mum if it's bad. I need A, A, B to do biochemistry at Bath University but I'm thinking of deferring it anyway because it would give me a year out to train." (Ingle, 2013).
