Finding the Motivation to Persevere and Succeed

Finding the Motivation to Persevere and Succeed Finding the Motivation to Persevere and Succeed Kumon helps me establish goals and  pushes  me  to  work towards them one level at a time,” said Nathan.  â€œIt keeps me going. Remember  getting that extra push on the swing set just as you needed the momentum to soar even higher?  That’s how Nathan felt when he was encouraged by his mom, just as his motivation in  Kumon  began to dwindle. “Nathan started Kumon the summer before entering third grade  and it was hard for him to get into the rhythm of having math homework every  day,  including holidays and breaks,” recalls Nicole, his mother.  â€œKumon  taught him to complete what he starts and to be disciplined in everything he does.  Now I dont push him as much. His goal is to complete the Kumon Math Program  and he is more than excited to do so. At age 10 and three years into the  Kumon Math  Program,  Nathan’s  a few levels  away  from meeting that goal.  He  admitted that there were  still  times  when  he felt like giving up, but  after  looking  at his goals and how far hes come, he  continues  to keep going.   “Never give up,” advises Nathan. Hiroko Ortiz, Nathan’s Kumon Instructor, describes Nathan as an intense student with razor sharp focus. Hiroko works with all  of  her students to develop their self-study and analytical skills and Nathan is progressing nicely. He does this by  completing  one level at a time.  Solid study skills beat cramming any day! Nathan is a Boy Scout,  church volunteer and choir member, plays the piano and violin,  and loves math. He represented his school at a 2016 County Math Tournament and tied for first with another student in a county competition. “Sharing first place made me realize that I can do so much more and  that  I have the potential to build a stronger inner character within myself,” says Nathan. One year later, Nathan backed his statement by winning the 2017  Tournament. A double victoryâ€"marking  a first time win for his school and a personal best of winning two years in a row. Nathan has several dreams  for his future. He wants to become  a dentist and  an  entrepreneur and when the opportunity presents itself, to use his skills to do missionary work.
