Rajan Mahil | Same Interview | One Year Later

Our Year 12 students have officially wrapped up their first year at Ada! Here’s what’s changed for Rajan, Pioneer student, since his very first interview 10 months ago.

Pioneer PathwaySixth form

What is your biggest goal right now?

November 2025

Right now my biggest goal is just to settle in with the school. Well, just to make some new friends and get on track with my course.

June 2026

Yeah, I think I’m doing pretty good with my course. I got good grades in the first coursework pieces. I got some good friends, so a few good mates.

Is there anything you’re nervous about?

November 2025

The workload is pretty, pretty big. It’s a big jump from GCSE, but that is to be expected and just push forward with it.

June 2026

I think it’s still because it’s the same work, I guess. So it’s still the same jump from GCSE, but it’s all right. I guess it’s not too bad.

What’s your dream job?

November 2025

Right now, my dream job is anything I can secure with a large tech firm that really works close with security or gaming.

June 2026

I still like those ideas, but I don’t know about cyber security anymore. Gaming still looks really interesting, and that’s about it so far, really.

What would you say to your past self?

November 2025

Probably just to keep on top of my workload, just manage my time well. So, yeah, I think I’d still say the same thing ’cause time management is pretty important.

June 2026

I guess probably the same thing, to be honest. I guess time management is always pretty important. So, same as last time, just the same thing.

What are you most proud of since the last interview?

…

June 2026

Since we spoke last, probably still doing well in my coursework.

What’s your next step looking ahead at the start of Year 13?

…

June 2026

My computer science course has wrapped up. So, just getting on top of my A-Level and continuing  with that.
