She’s not only gifted in the classroom, but she’s also received accolades that many aspiring adult musicians dream of achieving.     After enrolling in  Kumon when she was five years old, Rin quickly obtained a strong foundation in math and reading, and to this day, she continues to  advance further beyond her grade level. She’s participated in  a local university’s gifted and talented program since the third grade and recently  competed  in the  Crescendo International Competition.  Her violin skills took home “Best Performance Prize” at Carnegie Hall.     “Sometimes, people ask me why I work so hard to get first place in a music competition or why I spend extra time studying,” said Rin. “They don’t understand that I’ve set goals to help me achieve my dreams.”   One of those dreamsâ€"becoming a scientific doctor and contributing to scientific research that could impact future generations.   Rin was one of 56 students selected from thousands of applicants from the United States, Canada and Mexico to attend Kumon’s 2018 Student Conference. She talks about her journey with Kumon.       Rin shaking hands with Kumon North America President Mino Tanabe How has Kumon helped you beyond academics?   Kumon has helped me learn how to organize my work and how to study better.

Kumon allows me to study at my  own  pace and  advance beyond my grade level.     What’s the biggest benefit you have received from Kumon?   Kumon has really taught me how to concentrate better and not get easily distracted. Kumon has also taught me independence and to look to myself before I ask any questions.  I know that I can solve problems on my own.   What do you hope to accomplish with Kumon?   I hope to complete the entire Kumon Math Program by the end of  the  8th  grade.
