Nicole is a sweet, talented girl, kind-hearted and caring about others.

Nicole loves dancing and singing.Her first love is ballet. She likes to seedancerswith their elegant and beautiful postures. When she wore her ballet dress and shoes for the first time, she was so delighted that she didn’t want to take them off!Her teacher told us that Nicole was the only one in the class who was fully of focused on learning at all times.When she learns a new skill, she is happy to show you how to do it step by step.

She’s energetic, and likes outdoor activities - playground is her favorite. When there is snowin winter, she likes to make snow angels even though she always ends up wet and cold!

She’s an optimistic, considerate girl with excellent emotional control. All children have a difficult time controlling their emotions, but if you talk to her in a composed way or explain to her the reason, she will listen and calm downimmediately.When she enrolled in Cefa, an early learning education program,she was bitten by her classmate the second week. After talking with the child, she stayed friendly and developed a friendship with her. We found thatthe minute you say you’resorry to her, is the minute sheforgives,as though nothing happened. Eventually, the children built a good relationship that extended to their familes.

Further,it’s Nicole’s nature to think of others. I was told by the teacherin the Cefa JK2 class that one day the two children in front of her, waiting to wash their hands, began pushing and fighting. Without hesitation Nicole moved between them, separating them so they could no longer fight. Nicole’s mother frequently travels out of the country on business. One night I heard her murmer “Mom” in her sleep, but she never talks about missing her mother. She is a strong, self-reliant person that way.

Sharing is one of her best characteristics. She’s generous in hersimple way.When given something delicious, for example, strawberries or grapes,she will share hers with other family members.She likes to make small handicraft accessories, such as necklaces and bracelets, to give to people she loves or those she feels close to. Some of her classmates have asked to be recipients of these small gifts.

Nicole is willing to help. She will always try her best to help anyone. At home, she always helps her parents with the housework, dishwashing, laundry, etc. She is willing and will take the initiative to help. In school, she helps the children changing shoes, getting their water bottle, etc.

She loves asking questions, sometimes repeatedly. She learns by repetition. She has a competitive attitude, and is eager to do her best among others. We believe [The School] is the place for Nicole to start her journey toward becoming a well-educated young woman. Both [The School] and Nicole will benefit in the development.
