Lopes says she couldn’t rest till 06:00 this morning because she was “really, really
nervous”.
Lopes achieved all Bs – with one in Portuguese – and a C in Maths.
“I’m
really not good at maths so I was delighted,” she says: “I thought I’d
get a D.”
She says she hopes to go on to study law or politics at university in the future.

Meanwhile, Georgina says she barely slept as her nerves were so high.
She says she
got As, Bs and Cs in her results. “I done
really well, I done better than expected,” she says.
Georgina – who has aspirations of becoming a nurse would like to study health and social care – says it
is “heart-breaking” to leave the school and “scary because
you’re going into something bigger”.

Wiktoria is also happy with her results.
“I’ve been so nervous but I mean I wasn’t over confident or anything but I knew I’d do ok,” she says. “I done really well, I am actually so happy with my results.”
She’s planning to study science and hopes of getting a job in the pharmaceutical
industry.
