Heroes in Every Season

         Heroes are everywhere in this world. In movies, they are those who save the lives of billions of people because they have super powers. But here in the real life, they are not those who have super powers, but they are those who have super kind hearts. They are our fellows of distinguished courage or ability, and are admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities.      

         There are a lot of heroes arising. But for me, when we talk of communities, teachers are the best qualified to be honored as true heroes. I believe that a man doesn't need to be like Superman, Batman, Super Inggo, Dr. Jose Rizal, Bonifacio, Mabini, etch to be called a "hero". A man doesn’t need to fight thousands of people or write grievous novels and sacrifice his life to be honored and known. Someone can be one by his own little ways by just doing simple things that can mean the most to people.
        

             Teachers are persons who provide schooling for students. They are those who facilitate education for everybody. They are the men and women in profession who shoulder the most difficult task of providing a better education to the country’s future leaders. Others may sometimes see our teacher's job as simple or effortless but being a daughter of both educators, I say that doing their job may consume all of your powers everyday. All they do is to study to supply correct information to their students, check papers, finish grades on time and deal with stubborn students.  Doing their job is very hard but because of their good hearts to help others, they do it with selfless acts even if they only have very low amount of salary. In classroom scenario, the teachers are looked upon by students and pupils as their second parent. Though the teachers are lowly paid, yet they render service not only to students and pupils but also to the community. 

            And in danger and hard times, the hardworking school teachers are always there to give their utmost best to serve the community. 

            During elections, they serve as the election officials facilitating the voters from early morning until late in the afternoon. Serving during election can harm a person’s life but because of their love to their service and countrymen, they still go for it every year.   

           

            Recently, there are many teachers reported for being very good to their students. There are those who sacrificed their time, efforts and money just to give enough education. Teachers also extend their obligations for giving advises about personal matters. They influence their poor students by providing inspirational words. 

           

            Without the presence of our teachers, would the nation have its doctors, politicians, scientists, nurses, next teachers, writers, mathematicians, attorneys, fathers, mothers, psychologists and philanthropists? Everybody knows that no one can get anywhere these days without a decent education and that the nation's welfare depends on an educated populace. Teachers are more beneficial to our nation than anyone else even the overseas Filipino workers earning money of other countries. 

            For all of our beloved teachers, we honor, respect, love and thank you for all of your efforts and sacrifices. Thank you for being our heroes in every season. May God bless you a billion folds for your great actions!
