His curiosity leads him to dive into books to try to understand the way the universe works. With a dream of becoming a physicist, Ankit credits Kumon for giving him the confidence and ability to learn independently.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIn Kumon, I\u2019ve become more independent and this applies out of the classroom as well,\u201d said Ankit. \u201cI\u2019ve also learned that my success relies on me, and no one else. To be successful and to help you move forward, you have to truly understand the formulas behind things and how they work. Kumon has given me the ability to think that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>Ever since Ankit enrolled in Kumon when he was just five years old, he has been focused on the goals that lie ahead. Before entering middle school, Ankit successfully completed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/reading-program\" aria-label=\"Kumon Reading Program\">Kumon Reading Program<\/a>. His love for reading was fueled by Kumon, and he can now say he has already analyzed high school level literature. Determined to also complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/math-program\" aria-label=\"Kumon Math Program\">Kumon Math Program<\/a>, Ankit is impressively working with logarithmic equations and developing skills to solve derivatives.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-7101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ankit-3-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"Ankit stands in front of a trifold poster at a science fair\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ankit-3-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ankit-3-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ankit-3.jpg 796w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Ankit has taken his knowledge to the competitive level. He was selected to represent his school at the 2018-2019 North Carolina Science Fair and was awarded Honorable Mention for his work. When he is not coming up with a new scientific discovery, Ankit enjoys writing and maintaining a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ankitbiswas.wordpress.com\/\" aria-label=\"blog\">blog<\/a> comprised of poems, short stories, and even has a book in the works!<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI want to be a physicist when I grow up because I want to find out the secrets and the workings of the universe,\u201d said Ankit. \u201cI also want to be a writer because I want to create worlds like the ones in the sci-fi books I read.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>What do you enjoy most about Kumon?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I enjoy the independence that Kumon has given me. It gives me the ability to learn concepts on my own. It doesn\u2019t outright give me the answer. Instead, it drops little hints that lead me to the main goal and leave the rest for me. If you ask for help, the Instructor will lead you, not tell you.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>How has Kumon helped you academically? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Kumon has helped me study several grades\u2019 worth of material in less than a year, and as a result, helps me learn material years before I even see it in school. Combine that with the independence I\u2019ve gained and focus skills, other subjects like social studies or science also benefit.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-7102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ankit4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Ankit speaks to the other students at his table at the student conference\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ankit4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ankit4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ankit4.jpg 838w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>What\u2019s the most beneficial thing you\u2019ve learned in Kumon?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I feel that the most helpful thing I\u2019ve learned (and am still learning) is how important it is to not get distracted from your work. It\u2019s important to concentrate as hard as your mind can, and not allow yourself to be distracted from the background noise.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Kumon has helped me find a world where Shakespearean plays are a daily indulgence, and numbers don\u2019t always represent values. Before I started, I imagined I had a molehill in front of me. Now, the mist has cleared, and I can see a mountain. I\u2019ve realized that if I could go up to the end of high school mathematics while I am only ending elementary school, there\u2019s so much more potential that lies ahead of me. My one word would be: \u201c<strong>Insightful.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>Who is your biggest inspiration and why? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-7103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ankit5-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Ankit poses with his parents in front of a Kumon backdrop\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ankit5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ankit5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ankit5.jpg 845w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>One of my main inspirations is Albert Einstein. Most people would think that I\u2019m inspired by him because he persisted even while his teachers told him that he couldn\u2019t do anything. He sought to find a new way of thinking about the universe and physics, even when there were barely any studies about space before him. He inspires me because he was able to find something new \u2013 an original idea.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>What\u2019s your favorite book and why?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I have 200+ books in my bedroom, so you can probably guess why it\u2019s hard for me to find one favorite. After carefully picking, I chose <em>Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials<\/em> by James Dashner. There are a lot of reasons why I call this book one of my favorites. First, I like it because it isn\u2019t a fairy tale. In fact, the main characters even get captured in the end. Overall it is a great read and I highly recommend it!<\/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? \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I felt elated! It was satisfying to see how hard work pays off in the end.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>What was your experience like at the 2019 Kumon Student Conference, and what was your favorite part? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>At the Student Conference, I felt a sense of belonging to be with other so similar, yet different, Kumon Students and high achievers. I was inspired by the stories of former Kumon Students and their success. My favorite part was the Mummy Game, in which we had to work as a group to solve clues and puzzles to find an \u201cexit.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>What advice would you give to kids just starting Kumon? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It might seem boring or hard, but if you pursue the work at your own pace and set goals for yourself, you will find yourself yearning for progress and learning.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/success-stories\/\" aria-label=\"Discover even more student success stories.\">Discover even more student success stories.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ankit, 11-years-old, Math Level L &amp; Reading Program Completer<\/p>\n<p>Considered to be one of the most influential scientists of the 20th Century, Albert Einstein\u2019s work paved the way for future groundbreaking discoveries and continues to inspire young scientists to make an impact on the world we live in today.
