Grades Matter—But So Does Everything Else

A lesson I'm currently learning is that a qualification alone doesn’t fully reflect a person’s capabilities. At the end of the day, employers and recruiters are looking for value. If you're still in high school or university, focus on building a strong personal brand—one that reflects more than just your academic record. Invest in your professional presence, get involved in extracurricular activities, and aim to grow in a way that makes you a well-rounded individual.
