I know that I want math to be a part of whatever I am doing. We use math in pretty much everything we do each day, sometimes without realizing it,\u201d said Julien.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his free time,&nbsp;Julien enjoys&nbsp;reading,&nbsp;collecting comic books,&nbsp;playing chess, swimming, and&nbsp;riding his bike.&nbsp;He also&nbsp;plays&nbsp;two&nbsp;musical&nbsp;instruments,&nbsp;the piano and violin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height: 29px;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about Julien\u2019s inspiration and advice to Kumon Students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is your biggest inspiration and why?<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My biggest inspiration is Mileva Meric (Albert Einstein\u2019s first wife). I have read that she was also an excellent mathematician and physicist and that she worked with Einstein during the time in his life when he made his greatest discoveries. During that period of time, because she was a woman, she didn\u2019t get the attention that she deserved. Her work was taken for granted and even lost to history but it\u2019s very possible that she actually was a better mathematician than Einstein. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is your favorite book and why?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was a really difficult question for me to answer but I would say at least one of my favorite books is The One and Only Ivan. I enjoyed this book because it was a good example of the importance of friendships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What advice would you give to kids just starting Kumon?<\/strong>  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would tell kids just starting Kumon to just do the best that they can. Over time, they will learn what areas they need more help in and feel good about what they have already learned and are able to do. If they feel overwhelmed, I would remind them of that great feeling that comes with overcoming something that they thought they couldn\u2019t do.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you continue to stay motivated in Kumon even when work becomes challenging?&nbsp;<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&nbsp;actually really&nbsp;like it when the math problems become challenging and are difficult for me to&nbsp;solve. Sometimes it\u2019s like solving a 3D puzzle, I look at it from different sides. I feel&nbsp;really good&nbsp;when I eventually solve them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n10-year-old Julien, Math Level J&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Julien\u2019s&nbsp;advanced math abilities were noticed&nbsp;very early on in his life, when&nbsp;it was discovered that math was his gift.
