Being a GVS teacher, first
and foremost, requires creativity,
dedication and passion before she
starts everything. It can be largely
demanding in the part of a fresh
college graduate coming from a
certain province. However, a
kind of person who possesses
the will to make everything happen and achieve her goal- to
make a difference in her children.
A GVS teacher first
creatively creates a classroom

She also chooses to be a

around four hundred (400) exhibits through nine

The sport that I learned
to love
By: Carlos Luis Martinez
Taekwondo when I was 4
years old. It has always been my
weekend activity. I tried a lot of
sports and are still into it, but I
just kept on going back to Taekwondo.
When people ask me why I
am into Taekwondo, my answer
would always be…"Taekwondo
helps me be humble, disciplined,
focused, confident and responsible.
During a tournament, when I
win I am aware it is because I
worked hard for it. While losing
gives me a chance to do better next
time. I learned to take defeat without shame or regret. It made me
realize that I am not the best because others may be better.
In Taekwondo, training is
important, that is
why I make it a
point to
train
every week and to
practice
very
well . Being focused is very important to do the
right moves at the right time.
Since Taekwondo is also
about self-defense , the sport
helped me be confident and responsible. I do not use my skill to
be boastful but rather I use it to
influence others in learning how to
defend themselves in case it is
needed.
Performing in front of many
people during a tournament is
great experience. Being promoted
to a higher belt is always a
memorable event and I am looking forward and working hard to
wearing the black belt in time.
I am very grateful for the
skill that God has given to me and
I will try best to influence others
in a positive way.

top priority. A GVSian teacher will hear words like “I can’t.”, in response she’ll say “YOU CAN!” or “I don’t
know how?” she’ll reply “Come here, I’LL TEACH YOU HOW…” A GVS teacher will try everything and do
whatever it takes- to encourage, motivate, engage, challenge, inspire and instill love for learning… In the heart
of every GVS teacher is to enable the child to become much more than he, what he thinks he is capable of.
This is GVS teacher at heart.
