his story
Gus shared his favorite thing about attending Eastwood is
the teachers and staff. “They are so helpful and supportive.
They are extremely caring and personal with all the students.”
He plays Varsity Basketball, Baseball, and Cross Country for
Eastwood Christian School and has been greatly inspired by all
of his Eastwood coaches over the years who have shown him
what a godly man looks like. He is also a member of the Beta
Club and a Math Club Officer. Something about Gus that most
people don’t realize is how much he loves learning. He is an
honor roll student and holds a 4.6 GPA. He advises incoming
freshmen to choose their friends wisely and pay attention in
classes.
what’s next
Gus plans to pursue a career in law. His uncle is a lawyer, and
he has enjoyed learning about his uncle’s work.
PG (parental guidance) rating
He shared, “My parents have always pointed me to Jesus and
encouraged me to follow Him; this is the most important
advice anyone can give.” He wants to be remembered as a godly
man who is a good example to those around him. He is proud
that his family has a good reputation in business and life.
parents’ perspective
His mom expressed, “I most admire Gus’ love for the Lord and
desire to live his life for Him. Gus’ positive attitude and outlook on
life is a blessing to us all. I am thankful for Gus’ positive attitude,
willingness to help others, and his love for learning. Whether he is
in the classroom or on the ball field, Gus gives all he has.”
parent-to-parent
Tammy and Woody Dozier gave this advice to other
parents, “Be present, spend time with your children, pray
together, read God’s word together, and talk about everything. Turn
off the computers, video games, and phones, and spend time together
as a family.”
