First Taste of Academic Success - Husna Eka

Husna Eka was born on 2 January 2004. By 3 years old, Husna went to an English reading program at a center called Vital Years - www.vitalyears.com.my. After spending a year there, she decided that she had enough of the class since majority of her friends were no longer there. It's your friends in class who determine your decision to stay on or not. Nevertheless, Husna could read simple English at the age of 3.

During the hiatus period of staying at home, she went crazy watching Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Playhouse all day. The parents were then thinking heck, we need to fill up her time. After talking to a few fellow parents from the Vital Years class, most of them send their kids to Nuri to pursue the kid's education building program. Alas, we had found the nearest Nuri and decided to pursue hers at the center. Link - www.nuri.com.my

Husna started a month late from the rest, she's the 14th student in that J4 Pre-school class for 4 year olds. The teachers like her since she is easier to teach and listen well (yeah, after spending 1 year at Vital Years, that should be great foundation for her).

During the mid-year review, she fared very well, as per my post entitled "Pioneer Achievement - Husna Eka". Then last 2 weeks, it was time to take her results for that final year review.

Final year exam result for Husna - All A's except Jawi - C (she needs to write better huruf jawi). Little sis Huda looking on thinking when will it be my turn eh..

Then, Husna was awarded as the Best Student for J4 for Nuri branch of Taman Sri Putri.

We had to attend a ceremony for the award, but we were late. So we told Husna to get the award again for the upcoming years.

Husna was exuberant with the award, which made her parents very proud.

Once in a while, before going to sleep, I'd tell Husna, "You're going to be the Best Student for next year, and the year after that, and the years beyond, until you become a doctor, then you can treat me when I'm old". How cool...but then again, this is just a bonus. We are not supposed to burden our kids with our hope and expectations. We give them the best, guide them, and ultimately, let them lead their own life. That's my belief.

Congratulations Husna!
