Having obtained .. proves?

Hi

Is the following sentence grammatically correct?
"Having obtained an A in my first year only proves my interest in the subject."

Thank you

It's not quite right. " I don't know that you really need to say "only". To be nit-picky, it is debatable whether getting an A actually does prove an interest.

  • At school I got A's in some subjects that I had no interest in at all.
