Songs From Her Heart

She does them for kicks,The songs from her heart. She listens to words deep within; In her heart,In her soul,And turn them into the Songs from her heart. They come from deep inside, and they beat the drum, strum the guitar,For the songs of her heart, are never far.

A Romantic Race

I can’t believe it actually happened! I’m already starting to cry. The feelings of joy, as we bike together tonight. My heart couldn’t stop racing, not because I’m tired of biking, But because of this unnatural feeling I couldn’t describe. I could not believe my eyes as we strolled down by the park. We passed the old bridge, as it symbolizes our love

Determined to Persevere!

I was only two years old when I first started my Kumon journey, and being very young, I didn’t know what to expect. Nevertheless, I was excited then. I have a photo of myself during my first day in Kumon, and it shows a happy toddler grinning from ear to ear, with a Kumon bag slung over her shoulders. Fast forward to a

A Curious Mind and A Passionate Heart

“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will never depart from it.” -Proverbs 22:6 With this guiding verse, I commit to the Lord that I will be the best mom for the children God has given me. Dasha, my first born child, talks vividly and speaks her mind. When she started going to school

No regrets!

At three years old, Faith did well in her Diagnostic Test as she would already follow instructions at an early age. After enrollment, she amazed us on how fast she learns each day, and wants to learn more as the days go by. She does her homework on her own most of the time, and does a great job with or without supervision.

From Kumon to Local and International Competitions

We enrolled our daughter, Lia Jeanelle Azaula Narvaez, in Congressional-Visayas Ave. Center before she entered grade 1. I believe that enrolling in Kumon has prepared her to achieve milestones at an early age. I can even remember her first day in Kumon last October 4, 2016. Since then, she answers her worksheets daily with perseverance, and she brings them even during our vacations.

Creating Meaningful Goals

Being part of the 2019 Advanced Students’ Forum is just one of the many milestones in my Kumon journey. With this, I am excited and humbled to share with all of you how my journey has been. Back then, I was not familiar with what Kumon was all about, but my parents thought it would be of great help to me before I

Developing Self-Confidence

Did your hands sweat when you were asked to talk in front of the class? Did your voice tremble when you shared with your classmates your summer activities?  Shyness may be defined experientially as discomfort and/or inhibition in interpersonal situations. It is a form of excessive self-focus, a preoccupation with one’s thoughts, feelings and physical reactions. Kumon understands this problem, and though it
