“Practice makes permanent, it does not make perfect because no one is perfect.” stated Gabriel Vasquez a freshman most likely known as “Gvaq” (pronounced “Gvac”) a cross country athlete.
The nickname “-Vaq” comes a long way, from a talented poly student named Christian Vasquez who was a great varsity cross country track runner being called “Cvaq”, even his older brother Jose was called “Jvaq” also a talented Poly student athlete, and since he is the youngest sibling he proudly takes the name too.
Being active and working out helps Gvaq cope with stress and gives him a sense of mission and purpose.
At the young age of 14, Gvaq already has plans on enrolling to become an United States Marine so he has started preparing early.
“I’ve embedded working out at a young age to always practice because I know that in the future I will be doing the exact same thing, I need to hold myself accountable wherever I am, wither be at home school or even just waiting for bus because practice make permanent,” stated Gvaq.
Lastly, Gvaq said “I want everyone to know that life is going to throw a lot of challenges your way and how you deal with it, is going to define who you are!”
