I told DS that there is also YODO (You Only Die Once) so he must think hard if he wants to do something dangerous.
I actually totally agree with YOLO, but with a different \"take\". I have convinced (I hope/think!) my kids that when you only live once, it's important that you live it well, rather than waste opportunities and make mistakes that have major, long-term repercussions. Small mistakes are learning experiences, and not to be shunned totally. And yes, there are things that are better done when you are young, like take risks, be adventurous in trying new things, etc, but there are good ways of doing that, or bad ways. The underlying philosophy is whether you live to enjoy yourself (and worry about consequences later) or live to do something worthwhile (and not wait till you retire to start doing something \"meaningful\"). And \"worthwhile\" doesn't mean \"no fun\"!floppy\" post_id=\"1957920\" time=\"1578448670\" user_id=\"97579:
The mantra of a lot of young people today is YOLO. Part of that thinking is, if they can’t be stupid and wild when they are young, they probably aren’t going to get a chance to do it in future. I can understand that It may not be the same values that some parents share, but we all live in different times.

Fun fact:
The most popular overseas country to study in for Singaporean students is in UK with Ausratlia at number 2 position.
The most expensive however is U.S. The cost to study that is about $182,000 for 4 years.
Was doing some research and come across these figures here: https://www.sc.com/sg/stories/singapore-kids-to-study/ -
Dear all, any kid going USA this fall for their undergrad? ifyes, please private msg me so we can get connected.

Thinking of engaging with Crimsons to help my child with profile building & university application 2 years down the line
I am keen to hear your experience of engaging with education counsellors? and do you think it is worth to invest at Sec 3 level to shape up childs portfolio for university application? -

Is your child a strong student? With a good CCA record? If so, then it's probably not so useful. I see you posted on the RGS thread, and if your daughter will be RI, the advisors there are quite good. I'm not saying that you shouldn't pay attention to working on your daughter's portfolio, but I would save money and just do some reading up online for the advice. Some of the things you can prepare now, at sec 3, would be to make sure she puts in decent effort at her academic work, and does more with her CCA to show leadership, good performance, good character, or something strong that will make her stand out. If there will be an interview in her future, then it would be good that she practise thinking independently about a wide range of issues, and be willing to discuss things and \"think on her feet\".

I personally don't believe, beyond doing the above, that polishing a portfolio will make much difference to chances of admission to a top university. They are so swamped with applications from stellar students that even if your daughter is among the best, it's often a case of luck, I feel. Where it may help is if the student is not very strong, and trying to get into a better university that is not very competitive. But if your daughter is not at that level, I don't think it will do much good.
This is my personal opinion. -

Approximately 500-600k. It was discussed briefly in the NUS/NTU medicine thread.
