Embarking on my Kumon journey was more than just a pursuit of academic excellence; it became a transformative experience that shaped my character, instilled discipline, and laid the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. After six years, three months, 27 days, and conquering 20 levels, I am proud to declare myself a Kumon Completer.
The Early Spark
Reflecting on my journey, I recall the innocent origins of my Kumon adventure. As a child inspired by a televised math contest, I yearned to join the ranks of young math prodigies. This led me to express my desire to enroll in Kumon, a decision that would alter the course of my academic life. Conveniently, the Kumon Center was nearby, and from that moment, my goal was clear: to complete the program and earn my place on the wall of completers.
Lessons Learned
Kumon taught me invaluable lessons that extend far beyond mathematical proficiency. The first, patience, became a constant companion during the repetitive nature of worksheet completion. This repetition was deliberate, and aimed at fostering the second lesson – mastery. Through persistent effort and the cultivation of perseverance, I learned to navigate the challenges posed by complex worksheets. The third and final lesson, discipline, was instilled by the daily commitment to answering worksheets, regardless of holidays or special occasions. These attributes, I believe, are the cornerstones of a successful Kumon journey.
Expressing Gratitude
I did not go alone on my Kumon journey. It was a collaborative effort involving my family, friends, and dedicated Kumon teachers. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Center Assistants of Kumon Los Baños Learning Center, and especially to Teacher Cristy, the Chief Instructor of Kumon Los Baños Learning Center. Each one played a vital role in my success, and I am forever thankful.
A Parent’s Perspective
In my Kumon triumph, my parents, through their heartfelt spoken poetry, expressed their pride and unwavering support. The financial struggles we faced were alleviated by the generosity of those who sponsored my Kumon tuition, for which we are eternally grateful. To God be the glory for guiding me through this challenging yet rewarding journey.
