''TEACHERS open a window to the World''

“MY TEACHER; I AM PROUD OF YOU, COZ' YOU ARE MY HERO”

Since the very beginning of time heroes are in vicinity. Even before Jesus came to this earth we have had heroes, there was Noah, Moses, and King David. Then came Jesus to do a heroic act for the whole man kind and that is to come down from heaven to this earth to sacrifice himself to die on the cross of Calvary for us to be saved. As time pass by, more heroes arose. Each country have heroes, even each single city now have also heroes.

What is a hero any way? A hero or heroine is a person who is distinguished for valor and who did something noble at a great cost.

At present, in movies, there are heroes like Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. They posses super powers and saves lives but they are just fiction and unrealistic but we have our own true heroes proved and notorious like Lapu-lapu, Urduja and many more. During the 19^th century, Philippine heroes hastily arose. The most prominent is our own national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, Andes Bonifacio, and Apolinario Mabini who fought for our country’s freedom.

At this very moment still heroes are commencing. Recently, a young girl of about 12 years old in the Visayas Region had saved the Philippine flag during the typhoon.

Don’t you know that we have so many heroes in the Philippines? Yes we do, they are our beloved and honored teachers. You may ask why? It’s for the simple reason that they are the one who precast us in what we had become right at this very moment. Jesus was also a teacher to the people, he is teaching the people to believe and worship God, God at the same time was Jesus Father and Teacher. Could Rizal be what he is today if he was not taught and molded by his teachers? Of course not. Teachers are teaching us how to live, and how to survive. They are the heroes in this generation in which our future lies.

Imagine all the hardship, the sacrifice and the courage a teacher exhibits in a day. They teach people for their future. They are doing this not for their own sakes but for others. They need to do this for the posterity of this world.

We need then to love and cherish our teachers, if we say teachers they could be anybody who can contribute on to our knowledge and experiences. They could be our parents, teachers in school and even our friends. They really are our heroes and we then can shout and say, “MY TEACHER; I AM PROUD OF YOU, I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE MY HERO”.
