Being Supportive During the College Admissions Process

When my husband is sick, he likes to be fussed over. He feels loved if I offer to bring him chicken soup, cups of herbal tea, check out books or videos from the library and tell him I understand how rotten it is to feel rotten.

When I get sick I want to be left alone. Period. Fussing makes me immensely grumpier.


If you are a parent of a high school student, I am sure you have very good intentions about being helpful during the college search and application process. But what feels helpful to your student? That is wildly different for each kid. What is perceived as loving support by one, is nagging interference to another. So instead of guessing--ask--and be respectful of the answer you get.

  1. Meghalaya Board (MBOSE) has provided the MBOSE syllabus for Class 12 subjects on mbose.in. The syllabus of MBOSE HSSLC covers all the topics taught in 12th std. including Maths, English, Sociology, Accountancy, etc. The Board has reduced the MBOSE 12th syllabus for the academic year 2021-21 in the wake of COVID19 pandemic. MBOSE 12th Syllabus 2021-2022 Knowing the MBOSE HSSLC Syllabus 2021 will help students know the topics and units that need to be prepared for exams. Students preparing for the Meghalaya 12th 2021 exam should go through the entire syllabus for better preparation. Along with the MBOSE Class 12 syllabus, students can check the correct marking scheme of the subject. All the papers are conducted for a total of 100 marks.
