December 15, 2008 is the day that I will remember that the pain and anguish of VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) went away when one SMS message was received on my phone with a simple score there on the screen…it read 83.40, meaning that I had obtained the VCE and officially passed secondary education. It also means that I’m in the top 16.6% of students in the state, and beat 83.4% of students. The breakdown of my results is as follows, ranked in best to worst.
