There's Always Next Time

I just arrived home. I attended my daughter's activity at school. She was one of the contestants in Math Quiz Bee. She was excited but I was a bit apprehensive...or perhaps worried. I know Chloe is a smart girl and she's good in Math. And she always get flat A's in her report card in this subject. It's just that I know some of the contestants were currently enrolled at Kumon where it specializes Math and Reading...and I'm the only one teaching Chloe who is not so good in math, hehe.

Anyway, the rounds were categorized into Easy, Average and Difficult level. Chloe got perfect score on the easy and average level. However, she got 2 mistakes in difficult level thus disqualifying her on the clincher round level. But having reached the 3rd round was quite good already. I told her not to get discourage and the contest was just for fun. Gladly, she just took it lightly. She smiled to me and we hugged each other and I told her, 'It's Okay'. Well, there's always next time.

Congratulations Chloe!!!

Chloe's school is celebrating English Week and yesterday, she was one of the contestants in Smart Talk Contest. Their school has only sections for grade one. And in every section, there were only 3 representatives for this particular contest. They had their elimination round in their section prior to joining the year level contest.

9 pupils were given a situational question that they have to answer and Chloe was one of them. Of course, they were judged how they were able to comprehend and answer the question. And when it was Chloe's turn, she was asked a question like this: "You saw your classmate stole something, what will you do and why?". My daughter answered: "I will tell my classmate to return it to the owner because stealing is bad".

For us, it was an easy question. But we have to think that those kids are still in grade one. In fact, there were some questions asked that even, I, myself was quite confused.

Anyways, to set the story straight, Chloe won the First Place and I was so elated!!! Too bad I was not able to bring the camera with me for I thought we were not allowed to watch them. But I made sure I took a picture of her donning her medal when she arrived home from school =)

Again, congratulations to my dear anak, Chloe! You don't know how proud we are of you! ♥♥♥
