It’s ok to change your mind and make mistakes

It's completely normal to have some regrets, but don't let them hold you back. Sometimes choosing a subject you’re not sure about is what helps you discover the things you do enjoy.  

Remember, the decisions you make now aren't fixed. There are always different paths and opportunities to explore. 

If you’re not sure or want to look at other options, speak with your careers adviser or guidance teacher. They can help you figure out what to do next.
