What would you tell your father if you wrote him a letter?Perhaps what you have always wanted to say, but never could. Perhaps things you would like to thank him for, but never had the chance to. Or perhaps sort out disagreements you wished had been resolved more amicably. Heartfelt and moving and full of vignettes about their growing up years, these letters by our contributors show us the pivotal role the father figure plays in their children's lives.Contributors include: Margaret Thomas, Sadie-Jane Alexis Nunis, Christina Thé, Louis Tang, Alvin Tan, David Kwee, Hoh Chung Shih, Wong Ting Hway, Chee Soo Lian, Natalie Ng, Charmaine Leung, Crispin Rodrigues, Jacintha Abisheganaden, Kelvin Tan, Usha Pillai, Andrew Koh, Patrick Sagaram, Loh Guan Liang, Sarah Voon, Koh Jee Leong

Finding the right colleges (yes, there are more than one) can sometimes seem like an impossible task, but it isn't. Using the same skills they've developed in school, social media surfing, and texting, every student can find colleges that will offer them the right mix of challenge, opportunity and support. These same skills make applying to college a fun-yes, fun!-mix of students telling colleges about their life, and learning more about themselves along the way.College is Yours 3 helps students apply the strong skills they already have to build their college plans. Each chapter is small enough to read in minutes, but complete enough to give them everything they need to know about their college search-and to use again and again as they complete their college process. From getting college ready in ninth grade, to building a personalized college list, to showing who they are in every part of the college application process, to preparing for the transition to college as a senior, College is Yours 3 offers the ideas students need to make a strong college choice, all in chapters they can refer to often, easily, and quickly. If you're looking for a book that will walk students through each step of choosing a college with clear, complete, encouraging advice, you've found it. If a student keeps this book close at hand throughout their search, they'll soon see that college is theirs.The latest in the College is Yours series includes updates on how COIVD has changed the way students learn about colleges, as well as new advice on how parents can support their child through the college selection process. New chapters were added to address the college application essay, a part of the application that colleges are looking at more closely. Topics on researching and visiting college campuses include more information about how to find out what students really need to know about a campus, even if they can't visit the campus. The three "special" chapters have also been updated, with the latest advice for artists, athletes, and students with special needs engaged in the college search. Favorite chapters, including how to work with their school counselor, and how families can talk about college without driving each other crazy, have also been updated-and the ever-favorite mini-case studies of Sara (college readiness), Dave the pizza store owner (is college worth it?), and Joanna (clean up your social media accounts!) are back and better than ever. Updated information on college costs is also included, with updated information on how when-and how-college costs play a role in finding a college, and how to work with financial aid offices after they've been admitted to make sure students are getting all the financial support they deserve. Like the editions before it, College is Yours 3 is written with the author's knowledge of over 30 years of working with students. It's based on the understanding that, once students are helped past the college hype of "college stress" and "best of" books, applying to college is easily within their grasp, just a series of activities they've done before, put together in a different package. This is why College is Yours 3 is more compact than other college guides; the advice students need is clear, easy to refer back to while they are actually going through the process, and well within their grasp. Applying to college isn't onerous. Reading-and more important, using-a college guide shouldn't be either.

A 24-year old girl loses two babies in 9 months and almost dies from 2 ectopic pregnancies. 3 months later, a woman who has two sons comes to the hospital where Bryan, the author Linda's husband is doing a dental residency and wants to give up her baby. It is my hope that by some miracle that woman will find this book-know that her son is OK and that she made the right decision. This book is my gift to her and my plea to all women who find themselves pregnant with an unwanted child to consider adoption as one of the greatest gifts you can give a woman who can't have children.
