She's she. She's came from 21st century. She's a physically strong woman. She's a mentally unique lady. She's a Taekwando player of Santa Maria National High School. She's a student just like others. A student with a tall dreams as tall as skycrapers. A player who receives a lot of medallions, awards and she's fame. All of that cause by her hardships.. All hardships she've been through are paid off.

Claire Mendoza was a student of a 7-Narra, 8-Rizal and currently a student from 9-Diamond. She's a Taekwando player who always standing to represent her dear alma matter. A taekwando player who is well-known because of her skills. She always join a lot of competitions. And everytime that she go home she always took home a award. Everyone amazed at her. As a lady playing a taekwando is not easy. Some people knew that Taekwando is just for boys only. They said it's too manly. But for others Taekwando is really a great sport. They enjoy everytime they play. Aside from the happiness that Taekwando brought. It's also a self defense. A self defense that every human need. And it's very helpful. Now, are you agree that Taekwando is very helpful?

Claire Mendoza love her sport very much. Do you wanna know why? "I really love this sport because it's one of the reason why I'm happy. This is also the reason why I can go to other places. In taekwando I also learned to discipline myself and to respect those people whose older than me." Said Claire. There are many reasons why she love Taekwando very much. But, does people need the reason to love someone or something? If you love someone/something you never ask yourself why you love it. You just love it for no reason. Because he/she/it gave happiness to you. As far as the thing you love gave happiness to you then love it back.

Claire never forgets to ask god for help and to guard and guide her everytime. She never forget to thank god everyday. She ask forgiveness for everything she does. She also thanks her parents and her friends that supports her whenever she join competitions. She is very thankful to everyone. She has her parents that support him hard. She has friends that can scream Claire's name just to show their love and support for her. She's she.

Her greatest award that she receive is that time ago. She receive a silver medal from BATANG PINOY. She compete to other players all around the Philippines. That is her first time to join a national competition and to put an icing to this she got the Silver Medallion. Amazing right?

"Winners are not people who never fail but people who never quit" Claire's motto. A very well said statement that every player should know. It talks to every player generally. Those people who never fails are not winners. If people fails it means they learned something. Mistakes and wrongs are the one who makes perfect. And people who never quits are the true winners. They never quit as they reach the peak of success. They never quit. They will fight until they are well-known. They never step back instead. The step forward, standing while their chin is up representing their dear alma matter. Medallions and awards are the one who pays all the hardships that all the players have been through. Being fame is just like climbing the Mt. Everest you climb up so hard but you climb down so fast. It's also like a bubble. So fast to disappear.
And always remember never say never because limits like fears are often just an illusion. Play hard and be the champion.
