While many of her peers count down the minutes to the end of the\nschool day, Nancy uses that time to challenge herself consistently \u2013 and that\ndoesn\u2019t stop when school bell rings. This sixth grader\u2019s week is packed with\njuggling numerous extracurricular activities and commitments. Although the\nactivities differ greatly, Nancy\u2019s focus and dedication remain consistent\nacross the board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has particularly developed a\nlove for Greek Classic Dance, a passion that she has pursued since just three\nyears old. Although Nancy is the youngest performer in her group, she channels\nher discipline and perseverance to keep up with her team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI break the dance steps into parts, just like\nin a math problem, in order to master the performance,\u201d said Nancy. \u201cEvery\nSunday, I look forward to going to dance practice because I enjoy learning\nsomething new or perfecting something old, just like I do each week in Kumon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nancy attributes much of her drive to her time\nin the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/math-program\" aria-label=\"Kumon Math Program\">Kumon Math Program<\/a>. Her parents\nenrolled her in Kumon when she was only six years old, and she has since advanced\nto studying three years beyond her grade level. A goal that keeps her motivated\nto finish the program, is the possibility of giving back and helping others\ndevelop a love for learning.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Table-Nancy-300x186.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Table-Nancy-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Table-Nancy-768x476.png 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Table-Nancy.png 823w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to finish the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/math-program\" aria-label=\"Kumon Math Program\">Kumon Math Program<\/a> early so that I\ncan become a Kumon Assistant,\u201d said Nancy. \u201cI learned that I want to give back to my peers by helping them better\nunderstand math.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she\u2019s\nnot perfecting her Greek Dance technique, Nancy also does competitive swimming\nand diving, competitive soccer and basketball, sings in a choir, and\nparticipates in band. One of her favorite activities though, is volunteering in\nher community, whether it is reading books to kindergarten classes, singing at\nnursing homes, or dancing at hospital fundraisers.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nancy is committed to unlocking\nher full potential, no matter what she\u2019s doing. Beyond her hopes of becoming a\nKumon Assistant and Ambassador to help students better understand math, she has\nplans to continue helping others in a different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom a very young age, I have always wanted\nto become an Orthodontist. My mom told me that I used to sit in front of a\nmirror, take a necklace, place it in front of my teeth and pretend I was\nwearing braces.\u201d said Nancy. &nbsp;\u201cMy dream\nis to one day make braces accessible to everyone. A healthy and beautiful smile\nbenefits people both physically and mentally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that Nancy was\nchosen to attend Kumon\u2019s 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Annual Student Conference along with 55\nof her peers from across North America. She had the opportunity to travel to\nChicago with her family to connect with like-minded Kumon Students that share\nthe same passion for learning and growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had a chance to speak with\nNancy about her passions, Kumon experience, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Picture-Nancy-300x186.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Picture-Nancy-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Picture-Nancy.png 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you enjoy\nmost about Kumon? <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge!\nKumon helps me stay motivated.

I am more confident now in school\nand in life. Kumon has also taught me to be less stressed, to concentrate, and\nto focus more on an end result. Before I started Kumon, I always got distracted\neasily. Now, I organize my thoughts, accurately assess the situation and tackle\nthe problem head-on. Practice makes perfect.

I have won Gold in Regional Swimming Freestyle Competitions,\nBronze in Regional Diving Competitions, School Banners in Soccer, Medals in\nBasketball, participated in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Annual Kumon Student Conference,\ncompleted the Red Cross Badge at the age of 10, but my proudest achievement of\nall, is one which I can pass down to my grandchildren \u2013 a book!
