I just took my daughters Ananda Nayla and Aqila to their schools. Nayla, the oldest daughter studies at MTsN Model Banda Aceh, class 3. She will continue her study to SMA soon, after she graduates from MTsN.
She wants to continue her study at the best school in Banda Aceh. She must struggle hard to grab the opportunity to have good school. And my second daughter is Aqila Azalea Tabrani Yunis.
Aqila is her Nick name. Â She is a little girl who was born in Banda Aceh, Indonesia in November 15, Â 2011 has her full name, Aqila Azalea Tabrani Yunis. Â She is smart girl and active. She speaks English in her daily life, because her father uses English with all three children. Aqila has two sisters. Her oldest Sister is Ananda Nayla Tabrani Yunis and her youngest Sister is Arisya Anum Tabrani Yunis. Â
This coming November 2023, Aqila will celebrate her  birthday. She will be 12 years old and  turning to 13.  Therefore, She is very happy heading November, because she wants to invite her friends and her best friends in her school.  Aqila is now studying at Elementary School, SDIC Anak Bangsa. She is in class six and will continue her study at Junior High School or SMP. She dreams to continue her study to SMP Al-Azhar in Banda Aceh. She is preparing it by  studying harder and harder since She realizes that it is not easy to pass the entrance test, since it is  very compatitive.
In her daily life, Aqila loves drawing  and watching very much. She likes to draw anime. You know what anime is? Anime as mentioned in Wikipedia is hand-drawn and computer-generated animation originating from Japan. Outside Japan and in English, anime refers specifically to animation produced in Japan.
Since She loves it very much, Aqila always draws the anime while watching the YouTube every day after School. Besides, Aqila likes to do something creative and attractive,  She is very attractive and active doing something creative.  Dealing with using  gadgets as other children too, Aqila really likes watching. She watches English movies for children, because she understands English more than Indonesian. When We ask her about her future, she always says, " I want to be the best".
If you want to know more about her action, you can watch her in YouTube. Just click https://youtu.be/sjOiOnkKhj0?feature=shared. In this YouTube is not only Aqila, but also Nayla is very active creating the contents for YouTube with their English language skills, such as reading with Nayla etc.
As the parent of three daughters, I am happy with my daughters' competences in communicating in English. It proves that as an English teacher who had been teaching English for more than 30 years, I can prove that I am not only able to teach other students to communicate in English, but most importantly I can make all my family members are able to communicate in English. So that, I do not need to spend money, time and energy to send my daughters to the English course to learn English. I can invest them with English language skills which are really needed now and in the future. Therefore it is not wrong if Aqila always says, I want to be the best.
