“Cute naman ng anak ni teacher!”

This is one of the compliments given by the JCAians as they glare towards the direction of where the chubby child was. Where else could this child inherit her cute characteristics except from her mother herself? She is gifted with beauty and brains plus moral values. No doubt, this kid would surely be molded as a God-fearing woman.

Born on the 28th day of October 1979 in Cavite, the eldest among three siblings and a graduate of Tourism from Centro Escolar University (CEU) and Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education major in TLE in Eulogio Amang Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST), Mrs. Marinel Tan, indeed, was molded by time and her experiences in life as a woman with substance and exceptional beauty and respectful that made a man named Michael Israel Tan fall in love with her.

Their love story started when they were acquainted by common friends in year 1996. Soon, they fell in love with each other and made God as the center of their relationship. They were perfect for each other as others could see them as well as in God’s eyes . They soon took it to the next level and they got married on the 13th day of December, 2000.

Their love bore fruit as she birth to a cute girl named Myles. Ms. Tan never forgets to discipline her daughter like she does as a teacher. She depends on the Holy Scriptures which tells that the best way to discipline a child is by using a rod but with love as well. She puts her words into action, she teaches her daughter what’s right from wrong and good from bad.

She is indeed blessed having such family. Her siblings were also blessed. Her brother is an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) and her sister is a Physical Therapist by profession.

To impart her blessings, she decided to work as a teacher. She then taught at Redeemed in Christ School (Marikina) but she resigned. Now, she is handling classes here at JCA.

As a teacher, she disciplines her students by letting them know the things that make her angry. She’s quite expressive, vocal and someone that’s approachable. It’s very rare that someone would be irritated, not unless they’re just insecure. She always wear a smile as she enters rooms full of different attitudes and personalities.

Despite the fact that she works hard as a teacher, Ms Tan sees to it that she could also be a loving and responsible wife. She still dates with her husband like they were teenagers. They still watch movies together. She’s still the one who cooks for her family.

This Caviteña who loves the color violet really shows how a wife, a mother, and a teacher could all be in one person. Ms. Marinel Tan proved it and will leave a legacy to be remembered by people.

Not just to be remembered but to be imitated also by the next generation.
