GiftedGem:
Hi GiftedGem, Thank you for sharing with us on your personal experience. It helps alot... i agree with you, that as parents, we want the best for the child... likewise, i think kids also learn through alot of experiences through DSA too...How time flies. It was 4 yrs ago when my DD went thru her DSA in 2014.
Why does DSA mean to us :
DD : DSA was an opening door for her to get into the dream school of her choice
Me : To alleviate the stress of coping in PSLE and with alot of 'if' .... what if she falls sick during PSLE / mental block
It was a good exposure for DD to understand from each sch's selection process, the panel of interviewers, DSA interview questions etc. While she went thru a SAP sch interview which involved a big group, the question asked was like.....
If you were an animal, what animal would you like to be and why? The purpose of these type of questions was to allow the interviewer to find out the personal attributes of the student.
Anxiety would surely kick in for both parents and child while waiting for the result. It was the same for us. We had to embrace the whole process. Along the way, I asked DD couple of questions to assess how she would take it if she failed to get in to her dream sch? What if she managed to get a WL in the other sch... would she accept it straightaway? She told me she would work harder to try PSLE route to get in her dream sch if she failed on DSA. Certainly, we were thankful that she made it to her dream sch via DSA. I know many of you as parents want the best for your children ..... and I am just like you too.
I found some answers in the DSA thread shared by parents in earlier batch which helped in the process for DSA. In event it fails.... your child has tried at its best effort and do give a pat and hug.
All the best in yr child's DSA ! Jiayou.
Especially those with sports trials etc, they can spur with the rest of the students from other schools. Personally, when my DD went through DSA a few years back, she was rather upset that she felt she did not fair well during the Arts audition. She felt pressurized with all the other \"competitors\" from other schools... We then later brought her out for ice-cream and encouraged her to have an open heart on it.. explain to her that even not through DSA, she can still apply for S1 exercise... all hopes are not lost and don't feel despair about it. A little setback will make u a stronger person. Later on, she was shortlisted for interview and it was also an experience for her...
She is Sec 3 now in an Autonomous School and she was posted to that school via S1 posting. Occasionally, she brought up the DSA experience she went through and she never regretted trying out for DSA. She told me that actually, through the trials and interview experience, she learnt alot of self-independent and resilience. She never thought that this experience had taught her beyond what she is capable of. Don't be upset with yourself or your child if it fails... your child has put in the best she can and as parents, i really felt that the encouragement and talks on how to have an open heart with my child plays an important part... (probably the ice-cream also helps in this way... it was our childhood icecream - paddlepop)
All the best for the parents' and the child's DSA... (= -
