"A couple of years ago when I did my Leaving Cert, I got the points for my course. Lo and behold, the points shot up that year, so I missed it. "Three weeks later a letter came in the post with third-round random selection offers. So, as cliché as it sounds, what's meant for you won't pass you by. Go n-éirí an t-ádh libh."
"I didn't do my Leaving Cert, I did my Junior Cert and then I went on to Colaiste Íde and I did Sports and Leisure Management. "My advice to anyone would be, don't sweat it. Life always throws you curve balls and just learn how to roll with it, you move on. "Life is mapped out for us and you just got to do what feels right for you. Some things may not pan out now but who knows, they might pan out next year or the year after. There are loads of different options for you, so don't sweat it."Last but not least, fashion designer Aoife McNamara gave her advice on getting the Leaving Cert results, saying that you will be able to reach your dreams no matter what.
"I am just after graduating from LSAD, Limerick School of Art and Design, last year. I did a four-year BA Hons degree there. It was such an amazing experience and I'm still here in Ireland. I went away for a bit, but I'm back home now and I have set up my own brand, Aoife Ireland and it's such an exciting time!"Just like all three women said, what is for you won't pass you by. All you can do is your best and if you really want something, there's always more than one way of doing it.
