      Heya
      I think I was pretty bright when it came to understanding subjects in school. I found it really easy up to junior cert but I had to work much harder for leaving cert. I struggled with subjects I wasn’t as interested in but the work pays off once you get into a college course you like!

      I did ok in exams. I always worked hard and I never really struggled with anything. Would never have been top-of-class though.
      Hard work and determination is everything in everything.

      Hey 643cdge52,

      I was in the lowest class in my class. Up to Junior cert I did really badly across the board. I never got to pick my subjects before going into 1st year, but when 5th year came around and I could pick the ones I wanted to do I found myself doing much better.

      I was good in school but not in everything. I did not like a few topics and I lost the attention very quickly that is why I was ok on the average! I spent all the time studying additional material of maths and physics neglecting other important topics.

      I think I was one. You don’t need to be the brightest one in every subject to become an engineer. I would say you should be somewhat interested in maths and/or physics.
