Zosia\u2019s math skills have also proven to be above grade level as she\u2019s already mastered algebraic concepts like exponential functions and quadratic equations.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>Zosia has even found time in her busy schedule to give back to the community. Having completed 123 hours of community service during the school year, she was recognized with the Outstanding Service Award.

At times, it has been hard for me to make friends. Kumon has given me the knowledge to connect with other kids who share the same interests as me and enjoy math. I am also able to help my classmates get through difficult math exercises.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>How has Kumon helped you academically?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Kumon has helped me academically because I was able to skip a full grade and move into High School Level Math as a Middle School student.

I love this book because there are many references to other books she has written. I think it\u2019s so cool how she ties in so many books like, \u201cThe Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane\u201d and \u201cThe Magician\u2019s Elephant\u201d together in one story and building it into a new plot. I really like the plot because the main character Louisiana\u2019s whole life has been a big lie. It\u2019s interesting to find out the real story after her Granny sends her a note revealing the truth. It\u2019s a must read!<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>How did you feel when you found out you were selected to attend the 2019 Kumon Student Conference? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I was amazed and overjoyed!
