I have
mixed feelings today. I have helped my boy to make a decision and I am happy
for him and yet, I feel uncomfortable. Uncomfortable because I don't want to
bid farewell, I don't want to let him go. I will miss him badly. When I stared
at him just now, I felt like crying, hmm... my boy has grown up and it's time
he needs to learn independence.
Well, I
have written a letter to him yesterday. I have sourced information through the
Internet over the last few days and compiled a comparison report of 5 types of
career pathway. He wanted a career that
has to do with Maths and Science which are his strong subjects. So, I did a
research on Actuarial Science, Chemical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering,
Civil Engineering and Pilot. He chose AS. I respect his decision.
The plan
for AS is that he will study a year at HELP and three years eight months at Waterloo
University in Canada. It is a co-op program by HELP. He will have the
opportunity to work eight months in Canada to gain working experience in AS
industry. If he is good, the company may want to take him in after graduation
and that will be a golden opportunity. Canada allows students to work for a
maximum of 3 years after graduation as long as he study in Canada for 3 years.
I am indeed
happy and excited for him but when the thought of him leaving home for so long
makes me sad.
