Ms. Leonie Marquez is the new Chemistry teacher of the Juniors.
She graduated from Far Eastern University (FEU) with a degree in BS Chemistry in 1980. She earned Education units at De La Salle University and a Masters Degree in Educational Management at Trinity College.
At first, she took up BS Nursing but then shifted to BS Chemistry because aside from having preference on Chemistry as a subject, most of her earned units were to be credited in the BS Chemistry program.
Being a teacher was a twist of fate that she did not expect. She decided to be a teacher because she felt that it was a better option than to work in an industrial company like her friends. At that time, she was helping her parents sustain her younger brother’s college studies.
Ms. Marquez worked at Xavier School initially as a Laboratory Assistant in 1977. At that time, she was in college as a working student. She started teaching in 1980. In her 24 years of service in the said Jesuit-Chinese school, she became the Department Head for science and Team Leader.
In 2004, Ms. Marquez was accepted in the Visiting International Faculty (VIF) program as an exchange teacher and decided to resign from Xavier.
“It was an opportunity for me that I think I should not miss”, she said. She handled Physical Science of the 8th grade at Farmwell Station Middle School in Northern Virginia, United States. Her stint ended in June 2007.
She chose to work at MDPS after one year’s rest because she was ready to teach again. She applied in three schools here in Marikina and MDPS was one of them.
In her short time here, she said that she is really enjoying her stay. Ms. Leonie also loves her students that working here at MDPS with her colleagues make her happy.
What advice can she give to the MDPSians? “The students should take the chance given to them seriously. Their parents sacrifice to give them a good education, to see them succeed in the future. So in return, MDPSians have to study hard, earn good grades and become well-rounded and God fearing individuals.” By Ma. Francesca C. Herrera, III Temperanza
