We always have a family gathering on Sunday afternoon, I dedicate that time to play with my nephew and nieces. Time to explore how far they have developed from baby to elementary school now, for the eldest - Kaysa. She is a bit introvert, sensitive and , i have no doubt about this, a thinker.
1. She had passed the entry exam for elementary school , Jakarta Islamic School. She will learn with English and Arabic language there and learn from 7am to 4pm. She asked her parents to continue her study there, she insisted. :D
2. She stood up for her friends, fight with her fellow kindergarten student who had borrowed her bangles but never returned it back, not only one or two bangles but dozens. She didn't physically fight, but negotiated with her teacher about the case. I'm very proud that she has been able to stood up for what she think is right!
3. She can conduct a little literature research and she found out that her teacher was wrong. She told the teacher about her finding in the book was different with what her teacher told in a class. It was about the meaning of Al Humazah and Az Zalzalah. Her teacher told the class that Al Humazah meaning was 'the earthquake' but she was not sure and open her iqra' book as soon as she arrived home and found out that Al Humazah meaning is 'the traducer'. She compared these two findings and asked her mom, who persuaded her to tell the teacher. A little conflict she made among the teachers, but finally the teacher realized that Kaysa was right and did not hesitate to tell the class about the truth. :) We smile very wide and very surprised.
Yesterday her body reached 39 celcius degree. She hesitate to go to doctor and worry that she would not be able to go to school. Come on sweetheart, you've already known what they teach you in the class.
We never push her to study that hard, but she has successfully pushed her parents, also me - her aunt, to keep learning and cope with her questions :D
That is the power of enthusiasm and I adore her for her brave heart and strong mind. :)
I wonder how my life would be after she enter her elementary school. Pfiuuuhh.. study harder aunt! especially with Arab. :D
