Medicine, acting, teaching, and Spanish with molecular biology are some of the things students from one south Wales school will be going on to after A-levels.
On Thursday, August 14, many young people at Y Pant School in Talbot Green were celebrating getting on to the courses of their choice after success in their A-levels and the Local Democracy Reporting Service went to the school to speak to some of the students who had achieved what they wanted.
Louis Wilde, 17, got two A*s and two As and is off to Cardiff to study dentistry.
He said he opened the wrong sheet of paper at first but said there was 'relief and a lot of joy' to get into uni.
He said: 'I want to help people and make a difference,' adding that work experience has made dentistry appeal to him as something he wants to do as a career.

In studying medicine he'll be following in the footsteps of his sister and he says he has an interest in neurology but it's really early to decide.
