About half a year ago, Christina and I each put up posts about our experiences under the ASEAN Pre-U scholarship in Singapore, on our individual blogs. It seemed like a lot of students wanted to know more about the scholarship, and from my own experience as graduating high schooler, there isn’t much information out there – and hardly any from an experienced, first person perspective. Deciding where to go after finishing high school can be pretty difficult. So is deciding what to do after pre-university, and then university comes in and you get to see educational chaos ensue. So Christina thought it would be a fantastic idea to set up a website where people could share their thoughts and opinions coming up from high school and into university to make the process a bit less confusing.

What this blog will be, then, is a collection of stories about our education experiences: the problems we encountered (and are encountering) and how we got around them. We’ll do our best to provide factual information along with our opinions, and we’re also hoping for other students to provide their own anecdotes. If you’re currently trying to apply for a place at university, or currently wondering what to do after high school, then do post a comment on one of our posts about what you find frustrating. Alternatively, send us an email at twelveroads [at] gmail [dot] com telling us what you’d like to see on the blog.

We’ll try to get things rolling quickly. Christina’s still got one last exam to go, but I’ve just finished mine for the semester and am trying to find something to fill my suddenly-empty timetable – keep an eye out for new stuff, and welcome to TwelveRoads!
