‘One Paper at a Time’ - My leaving cert journey so far

"One Paper at a Time" - My leaving cert journey so far

I went to bed on Tuesday with a clear head, my prayer said and a quiet belief that the exams over the next 15 days would go exactly as I had planned. The hours, years and countless pages of notes all came down to this. The Leaving Cert.

English Paper 1 was the first hurdle, and thankfully, it played to my strengths. I used my background as a rugby player to answer Question B: a pre-match captain’s talk. Drawing from real-life experience made the words flow easily.
