For the past five years, he has established a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/make-learning-a-habit\/\" aria-label=\"routine\">routine<\/a> that has catapulted him to new heights in and out of the classroom. When faced with a challenge, Andrew always chooses to work that much harder and to never give up. It\u2019s the Kumon \u201cspirit\u201d that motivates him to make a final push towards to finish line in a race or even to learn a new piano sonata.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKumon has helped me to become more confident in encountering difficult challenges and overcoming those obstacles. I see this over and over in my life, not only in school assignments, but in learning a new advanced piano song with many sharps and flats,\u201d said Andrew. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe drive to work hard and practice until I\u2019ve mastered the musical piece is a representation of the skills I&#8217;ve gained from being a Kumon Student.\u00a0 The spirit of Kumon is within me as I crest the last hill in a cross-country race, leading the way and setting the pace as I break the finish line tape. The Kumon &#8220;spirit&#8221; is to persevere even when something is challenging. Kumon gives you the confidence to believe you can do it and prepares you for success.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"wp-image-8888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-2-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-2.jpg 1449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew was one of 155 students from Canada, USA and Mexico who attended the Virtual Kumon Student Conference. Andrew and the other students had the opportunity to be inspired and motivated by Kumon Ambassadors, former top Kumon Students who are now excelling in their careers and extracurricular pursuits. \u00a0They also met each other in virtual breakout rooms and engaged in a discussion about methods of teaching.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew shares with us who his inspiration is and his plans for the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you enjoy most about Kumon?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I enjoy most about Kumon is the satisfaction of completing a Kumon Worksheet. I\u2019ve always loved the sense of accomplishment when completing something that is challenging and advancing even when it is difficult to persevere.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you want to be when you grow up?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I grow up, I want to be a sports medicine doctor, that way I can help people. I feel that combining my love for sports and my dream of becoming a medical doctor would enable me to utilize many of my talents and skills. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is your biggest inspiration and why?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My biggest inspiration is Meb Keflezighi. I look up to him because he never gives up, no matter how much adversity he faces. He has survived a war-torn country and moved to the U.S. for a bright future for his family. His mindset has always been academics first, athletics second. Meb has gone through many injuries and made it through all of it. It seems as if when he goes through those injuries he learns and gets even better. He is a professional runner that has a family that is dedicated to hard work over everything else. That is why the family is so successful. He is the most decorated U.S. male runner in the history of the marathon. That is why I get inspired every time I go through an injury in running or go through hardships.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" class=\"wp-image-8890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-4-189x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-4-189x300.jpg 189w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-4-768x1217.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-4-640x1014.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Andrew-4.jpg 1002w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you continue to stay motivated in Kumon even when work becomes challenging?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I continue to stay motivated in Kumon even when work becomes challenging because I know how close I am to finishing it, while I am also mastering the skills I need to advance.\u00a0 I also see Kumon is similar to sports.
