      Your GCSEs don’t define you. Most students careers start after A-levels/T-level/O-levels or similar when they start University or apprenticeships. Many change routes completely. Your combination of GCSEs is interesting and the skills you learn are transferable.

      Ability to pick up languages can transfer into coding.
      Media Studies allows you to learn media literacy.
      History allows you to learn analysis and dive into history of computing.

      You can become a computer scientist any time you want, all it takes it drive and continuous learning! For my GCSEs I took German, History, Product Design and Computer Science.
