"It kind of stings, because it (99.95) was what I wanted. But, in the end, I'm very happy with my result. I'm looking to do engineering, and majoring in mechatronics. I think that has a big future, especially with smarter technology coming out. Moving here from South Korea. I've always been aware of the opportunity I've been granted, how privileged I am to have been able to move to Australia. So I always try to do my best, because the opportunities here are endless."

"If you woke up this morning and you didn't get the mark that you wanted, don't worry about it. Don't panic. The main thing is to pick a subject, pick an area, that you're really interested in and that you know that you can do good at, because you can always transfer after a year. You come into university to learn how to learn and learn about yourself, and, you know, it can set you up for life."
