Almost 59,000 students in Ireland got their Leaving Cert results today.
Your Leaving Cert results aren't the end of the world. That happened in November when the star of Celebrity Apprentice became US President.

This year marked the beginning of a new points system, which has changed how points are given for results.
Over 58k students sat the exams this year, and we're reminding you that if you didn't get the result you wanted, it's not the end of the world.
On iWork this morning, Emma asked you to share what you got in your Leaving Cert versus what you're doing now.
Here's some of what was sent in:

I got terrible leaving cert results and didn't go to university. I put myself through night school instead. I'm grand, thanks.

I failed my #LeavingCert, went to college as a mature student and ended up with a PhD and a job I love. Leaving Cert results won't stop you.

Our own Michaela Hayes from IRL even had some advice...
Don't fret over #LeavingCert #leavingcertresults tomorrow! I did awful but still managed to get my dream job! There's always a way

Be gentle asking people what they got, if they want you to know, they will probably tell you #leavingcert #leavingcertresults
