	I'm extremely glad I repeated my Leaving Cert at Rathmines College. It was a tough decision, but I'm very glad I did it as it helped open many doors for me. During that one year, I increased my points from 490 to 555, gaining my place in European Studies at Trinity College Dublin. Amazingly supportive staff - couldn't have done it without them. Highly recommended. Penny - Merelle Gray Trinity Entrance Scholarship Repeat Leaving Certificate 2006/2007
