Our Journey of DSA

Thank God, today we come to the end of DSA journey for our daughter.  God has answered our prayer, especially, our daughter's.  It is another testimony of HIS faithfulness and grace.

We started to prepare DSA in the middle of May by attending open house from different schools.  This year, coincidentally (or planned) all the most-sought after schools' open house fell on the same day.  So on May 19, 2012, (I remembered clearly), DH and I , together with our daughter, ran through four schools in one day.  We managed to catch all the school talks and even had lunch at school canteen....By the time we finished the last stop, it was almost 5pm.

DD had clear idea of what she wants.  NYGH, But I am a bit Kiasu, I persuaded her to apply two more for  the safe side.  We applied RGS, NYGH and MGS.  All of them are good schools. But my prayer was May God lead us to way to choose the suitable school for her. .

DD is all-rounder, student leader, top 5% at her school and national finalist for her sport.  We were not certain whether to apply under academic  or under sports.  After hours checking information on Kisau parents forum, we decided to apply DSA for RGS and NYGH under sports, MGS under academic IP.

The application procedures were quite straightforward---online application, followed by GAT tests and interviews.  DD enjoyed the tests and interviews, though those were the very first interviews she ever had.  One of interviews was happened in the week when our table tennis team won first Bronze medal at London Olympic.  there were some questions during the interview:-

 "What news has she read?"
She replied "Feng Tian Wei won Bronze medal for Singapore."
"What is your goal for life?
She replied "To represent Singapore in Olympic."

I guess she was in Olympic fever then.

 The most trialing parts were waiting for DSA results.  Th whole August seemed passing slower ever.  Finally, today afternoon, one teacher from NYGH called me to inform that she is offered CO.

We are overjoyed and really thankful to GOD.
