This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League

This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League Isaac, 14-years-old, Level M  Math   Isaac loves watching sports. One of his favorite things  to do  is watch his beloved Montreal Canadiens on Hockey Night in  Canada!  He enjoys  hockey so much that he has a dream of becoming a general manager of a hockey team  someday.   If that doesn’t work out, he’s also considering becoming an engineer because of his love for math. In fact, at just 14-years-old, he’s  studying three years above his grade level in the  Kumon Math Program.     Isaac shakes hands with Kumon North America President Mino Tanabe “Isaac is a superior and independent student. His perseverance and love of learning has helped him study math at a very high level,” said Ben  Giami, Kumon Instructor. “But it’s not Isaac’s academic ability that impresses me. It’s who he is as a person and his involvement in his community.”   Isaac participates yearly in the  Samaritan Purse Shoebox Operation  collecting aid for families in need around the world. He’s also an active member of his church, volunteers at  his  local elementary school and has been chosen  to attend the  Tim Horton’s Youth Development Program  multiple times.   Because of Isaac’s accomplishments both in-and-out of the classroom, he was one of 56 students selected out of thousands to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference.  He talks about his journey with Kumon.         How has Kumon helped you beyond academics?   Kumon has helped me with my confidence, self-esteem and has taught me to be independent. I’ve also learned from Kumon the importance of being a compassionate person and helping someone in the time of need.   What keeps you motivated in Kumon?     The discipline that Kumon teaches students around the world keeps me motivated. I’ve seen that the routine has helped lead people on the path of success and I know that if I stick with it, I too will be successful. Kumon has helped me with my self-esteem  and  also keeps me motivated. I am motivated to succeed and be the best version of myself.   What was your favorite part of the Kumon Student Conference?   The educational games and activities were a lot of fun. I really enjoyed getting to know  all of  the other students and working together to complete the challenges. I’d say my favorite part of the day was hearing from the panel of four Kumon Program completers. Hearing their journeys, struggles and learning about what they are doing now has inspired me to  continue on  to complete the Kumon Math Program.   Discover even more Kumon success stories.       You might also be interested in: Focus And Confidence Help This Young Musician Achieve His Goals Advancing Beyond Grade Level Helped this Student Become a Member of the National Elementary Honor Society How this Aspiring Hockey Pro Applies What He Learned from Kumon Kumon of West Chester Students to Compete in the First Lego League World Championship This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League This 14-Year-Old Has a Dream of Working in the National Hockey League Isaac, 14-years-old, Level M  Math   Isaac loves watching sports.
