Sheela Ranganathan
TAMPA STUDENT TO PARTICIPATE IN TOKYO KUMON PANEL ON DEC. 6-7
Story provided by Kumon

This year of the year, most sixth-graders are gearing up for Christmas holidays. But not Sheela Ranganathan of Liberty Middle School in Tampa. Come Dec. 6-7, the 11-year-old will be traveling to Tokyo to take part in an international student conference to discuss education.

Kumon, an after-school math and reading program, is celebrating its 50th anniversary during which 15,000 students, instructors and staff from 45 countries will attend.

Sheela began Kumon at 5 years of age and completed the entire math and reading programs before turning 11. She is the first student in North America to achieve the feat before entering middle school.

Included in Sheela's final level of study for the math program were the topics of differential calculus, indefinite/definite integrals and differential equations and interpretation/critique of literature for reading.

Sheela's father, Ranga Ranganathan, is a University of South Florida distinguished professor of computer science. Her mother, Radhika, is a Wesley Chapel pediatrician.

Sheela's hobbies include playing the piano, tennis and Indian vocals and dance. She looks to become a surgeon.
