Students across Scotland have been getting their SQA results today. The cancellation of exams due to the Covid-19 pandemic added to what is always an anxious day.
To show that good grades are not essential to success in life, Twitter users from all walks of life are sharing their stories.
The trend was started by No Wrong Path, a social media movement that “aims to provide inspiration and reassurance to young people receiving their exam results” and has had thousands of responses.
Here are some of the many stories being shared right now:
