From the above, you can tell everyone recommends that you come back
to SG, complete your IA and get your diploma. I would do.
To say that you are terrified of flying alone, you got to be
kidding everyone. When you spent money on a work travel program in
USA, but dont dare to do flight transfer to come back sg to
complete your IA?
Employers are not going to be very impressed if you do say that at
a interview. Afterall, it shows a lack of consideration for what is
truly important. (Completing your contract & making the effort
to complete your diploma plus lack of capability to travel on your
own, making your own decisions and to see things thru except for
whatever is fun for you and your friends.)
Think about it. As a employer, would you take on someone like
that?
Your work & travel program has the unfortunate timing to clash
with your start of your IA.
And even if you do make it back to Sg in time, your body is sure
going to be difficult to adjust to the time zone and it takes a
week to recover.
Your best option I can see now, is to come back as schedule, but
postphone the start of your IA. Contact the IA company in question
and explain to them that you are going to be flying back to
Singapore for the IA from USA. And you liked to push the start of
your IA [b]to a week later, so as to get over
jetlag.
Please tell them you truly wish to complete your studies and
graduate with them as your IA sponsors or whatever you call it.
Surely they also would not want a drowsy sleepy IA student on their
premises even if you stretched yourself to make it back.
Or. If you have not start the work travel program. Postphone that
one instead.
You have choices. But its your decisions that affects your adult
life. So think about it.[/b]
no wait, i haven't got my IA company yet.
I tried to postpone it via school, not successful.
I am in USA now. The thing is i have to hitch a ride out of here
and take a Greyhound bus alone to San Fran and to find my way to a
nearby hostel and to stay there for a few days ( buffer timing). I
am terrifed not becos of flying alone -_-"
I think money can be earned back but oppportunity with the right
company and timing> no. i have spent alot on the work and travel
program and it seems wasteful of me not to spend and earned out of
it. However, i aso want to graduate and take care of my mother
too.
