Teaching math to Aya

These days, my routine is to teach mathematics to Aya after work.

I used to enjoy dinner that my wife serves to me with alcohol, such as beer and wine. However, recently my daughter comes to me when I get back home, asking me to teach math. It would take more than an hour and it is not an easy task, but worthwhile because I can see her smile when she solves problems. No wonder kids' smile makes parents feel happy.

She is a third grade at middle school and I am good at math, so I am able to help her understand her math homework. However, more difficult questions, such as differential and integral, are out of my hands; I am not confident to teach math to my elder son, who is 18 years old.

Anyway, my dream was to became a mathematician when I was young. I have been fascinated by math because the world of math is really beautiful. Everything is rational and only one answer is correct.

I want her to love math, but she seems to think that she would quit learning math at high school. Anyway, I respect her patience and perseverance since she never complains and whines.
