Download or read book This Is Home Surely written by Sharon Tan and published by Khoo Li-min Sharon. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Where are you from?" An easy question for most to answer, but a very tough one for Third Culture Kids (TCKs). These children grow up outside their parents' home cultures, neither belonging entirely to their home culture nor to their host culture. They face unique challenges in establishing their identity and a sense of belonging, especially when returning to their home country. An increasing number of Singaporean families are living overseas for various reasons, and their children are growing up as TCKs. On returning to Singapore, these Singaporean TCKs will have to cope with a variety of re-entry stresses when adjusting to Singapore culture, making new friends, and continuing their education in the Singapore education system. Many existing books about the TCK experience are written from the perspective of other cultures, chiefly the US. This book addresses some factors unique to the Singapore environment and provides Singaporean parents with suggestions to smooth their children's re-entry to Singapore. With experience drawn from the real-life experiences of the authors' children and others they know personally, this book will be helpful to families of TCKs through the whole process: preparing to leave Singapore, while overseas, and, especially, when they return.

This is a unique psychological journey of a young man in the twilight of colonialism, searching for where he belongs.
Download or read book Working and Growing Up in America written by Jeylan T. MORTIMER and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should teenagers have jobs while they're in high school? Doesn't working distract them from schoolwork, cause long-term problem behaviors, and precipitate a precocious transition to adulthood? This report from a remarkable longitudinal study of 1,000 students, followed from the beginning of high school through their mid-twenties, answers, resoundingly, no. Examining a broad range of teenagers, Jeylan Mortimer concludes that high school students who work even as much as half-time are in fact better off in many ways than students who don't have jobs at all. Having part-time jobs can increase confidence and time management skills, promote vocational exploration, and enhance subsequent academic success. The wider social circle of adults they meet through their jobs can also buffer strains at home, and some of what young people learn on the job--not least responsibility and confidence--gives them an advantage in later work life.
