I found my Year 7 report book a few months back and I really, REALLY wish I had just listened to what pretty much every single teacher told me. 'Determined to do well, but make your work neater and revise more and you can do it' more or less.
It's my biggest regret that I was never proud of my work. My handwriting is basically chicken scratch, but if I had, had help when I was younger, maybe I had done well. I never even gave my work titles or anything like that, I just didn't know. I didn't think it was that important.
All the teachers said I was lovely though. So I guess every little helps
