I'm going pro if I don't get into anywhere decent
I know it's unlikely for me to get into IB because unfortunately even though my A Levels were a long time ago, when I'm up against stellar applicants with all A*s from Cambridge, my A Levels can be a determining factor and there's just no way I deserve a chance at elite jobs over actually elite applicants from Oxford/Cambridge undergrads.
I still have so much anger towards myself for mistakes I've made in the past and it's been really difficult to let the past go when it's constantly affecting my present. It sucks to bottle that anger up inside of you and does cause me to break down crying and get emotional when I think back to when I was 17 and the mistake I made of just not working harder. The only positive is it has helped me in the gym and during boxing, where I've just been able to take all the frustration and anger out.
I've been boxing for a few years now with a couple amateur fights and I'm pretty decent. Obviously I'll never be a world champion lol since I started way too late to even stand a chance but I'm at a respectable level.
I've decided if I don't get in anywhere even semi-decent I'm just going to get my pro boxing licence and start boxing professionally just to take all the rage I've built up for ruining my future by not getting into a target undergrad and getting good A Levels.
I wouldn't be boxing with the intention of being a champion, but just with the intention of getting into fights and releasing my anger. I don't need the money due to my inheritance so I can just do it for the release of rage. I'll keep boxing until I get brutally knocked out and will then call it a day or just fight weaker opponents.
Who knows you might even see me on TV on an undercard as one of those preliminary journeymen haha.
You'll be able to know it's me just with the sheer fucking rage with which I'm throwing punches at my opponent due to the fact that I messed up by entire fucking life at 18 and ruined my chances of getting into an elite career.

Dude no one here gives a shit about A levels

Why be a pro boxer when you can be literally anything else? The amount of head trauma you get ultimately makes such a huge impact esp as you get older. You should get into other competitive sports. I've found knitting to be quite helpful in releasing pent up stress.
