"THE DAY HE STARTED AT OCEAN EDU" - THE CONFIDENCES OF GOKU’S MOTHER

“A year ago also on this season, whilst surfing Facebook, I coincidentally saw a clip of a 5-year-old girl speaking English fluently and confidently. I set my heart on one day you can express it excellently as well. The video just ended, I startled to realize that my child was just over 4 years old, Vietnamese was still not fluent, and you were used to going to kindergarten every day, in the afternoon grandparents always looked after and took care of you. I only wanted you to be safe and sound, and I was worried that you were too young to go to school. At that time I just saved the video and immediately gave up my intention to let my child study this second language. I thought that it was better to wait for you to grow up.

One week after, uncle Thanh came to visit and told me that Bin (5 years old) always wanted her to shoot videos for him to send to his teacher when came home from English class. Bin is normally quite characteristic, hyperactive. However, Bin is closed to uncle Thanh more than you, afraid of a strange environment and also speaks a little lisp. I had little faith that you will like and study English well. I decided to discuss immediately with your father and carefully looked for prestige and good quality learning environment for my child to attend. Once again, all my hopes were stopped when your father said you were too young, and our family could not afford for you to learn English long and constantly. I also hesitated ... but I still believed my son could do it.

Searching for various centers, Ocean Edu is where I decided to take my child to learn. I remembered when walked into the door, you suddenly burst into tears and insisted on asking me to come home, your tears made me feel miserable. I was really awkward, but the belief that one day you will be good at English made me more motivated to persuade you to go to the trial class. In the first days at school, the center’s staffs and teachers always support you so that you could catch up and make new friends as soon as possible. All the kindness of teachers has reassured me to send you here.

Fortunately, in just one week, you got to know everyone quickly. Every time I picked you up, you were eager to show me: "Mom, today, my English name is Goku!", "Mom, today I memorized all the lessons in the teacher 's class", "Mom, I have many dollars, the next day I will exchange gifts for you". Every evening you always urged me to quickly send videos to your teacher, my working speed was also faster. After more than 6 months, a journey with you, me, dad, grandparents and teachers, this is the first time I have ever seen you have a complete video with such confidence. I am really proud and feel blessed, proud of you and fortunate that I have chosen the right place for you.

My Goku, perhaps you will feel exhausted one day, but remember that it is you, our family and your teachers who have made such great efforts for your first steps to school. All problems and doubts have been proved by teachers and you, yourself, that YOU CAN DO IT! I hope that these initial difficulties and achievements will be a solid foundation for you to keep moving forward.

I LOVE YOU!"
