university admission

hubby and i went for a talk in joy's jc re uni admission.

joy was seated besides me, busy fiddling with her mobile, though she insisted that she was paying attention.

i enquired on paper, the minimum admission grades critera for business course in smu and nus. the result was, it would be safer to get all distinctions to guarantee urself a place.

after the talk, joy proclaimed that she was more inspired to study to meet her goals. well, for me, life's getting tough for the stdts these days, in terms of securing a place in the uni. stds are raised, in part due to increased competition from foreign immigrants!

she has checked with her dance friend from smu about the study envt there. turned out that she was being discouraged by that friend, mainly quoting reason of over-loaded projects and presentation work.

well, hubby and i believe that the uni envt is a place that helps the kids to mature and develop broader thinking skills. ultimately, it's good to have a basic degree to fall back on, even if the kids are not going to pursue the area of study after graduation.

i do agree, office work turns boring after some years. and competition will drive one crazy. it's really letting the kids choose a path of life that he enjoys that will be long-lasting.
