A teacher recently went viral for giving hugs and high fives to students before they enter her classroom. This is her way of motivating the children to enjoy their studies and also to make them feel welcome in her class.

Delane Fernz Celeste teaches Grade 5 students at Bawing Elementary School in General Santos City, South Cotabato.
