You’ve got nothing. I bet you wish you’d tried harder now.
But while he excelled at sports, Jayson, who lives in Southend, Essex, struggled in lessons and remembers finding Maths and Science particularly difficult. “I would sit at the back of the classroom and try the best I could, but I wouldn’t really get it. Jayson then pursued an apprenticeship with truck manufacturing company DAF but was asked if he had any GCSEs. “I told them that I didn’t, but that I promised to work really hard and do whatever they needed me to do and make the teas,” he recalled.Jayson took two trains and a bus to get to his DAF apprenticeship until he passed his driving test. As part of the apprenticeship, he had to take an aptitude test and “failed miserably.
He is also a member of the Road Haulage Association Council and wants to give hope to young people who might be feeling dismayed with their exam results. He added: “On exam results day, you hear from your head, your heart and your gut. My head told me that I was going to amount to nothing and would be picking out bins and sweeping yards for the rest of my life.“My advice to those who are disappointed on exam results day is to not worry about what your head is telling you, but to listen to your heart and follow your gut.”

I didn’t really want to go but I thought it was expected.
