My Teacher, My Hero

Our world today, as we can see, is warmly embraced by progress. From the different inventions created to the betterment of mankind, to the main reason for success, the people. From the very famous and outstanding professionals, down to the simple workers and servants. For someone to be defined as a hero, many consider as a basis the powers  that individual posses. The matching costumes, the flashy entrance, and  the quotation made after a good deed. But for me, there is something missing.
Being a hero doesn't always mean that we have to have superpowers, costumes, and motto. Being a hero does not depend how strong or how big we are. Its just based on how we can help others and change their lives. We have idols, right? Doctors, Engineers, Architects, etc. We used to idolize these people and make being like them our ambition. But don't we know that there are certain people behind their success? People who turned them from nothing to great? These people are called teachers, the real heroes for me.
Teachers play a very important role in our lives. Without them, we are nothing and we will be nothing. They are the real heroes. Teachers are heroes.

JESUS, an Ancient, Modern, and Forever Hero

Through the years, many superheroes already appeared on earth and also on televisions. Liked, supported, and recognized by humans; kids, teenagers, adults and also senior citizens. They may be true, they may be not. Some are true, some are not. There came Captain America, Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Spider Man, and many, many more. There were also true-to- life heroes, there came Dr. Jose Rizal, Tandang Sora, Andres Bonifacio, Diego Silang, and also many, many more. All of these heroes have a certain goal, to help the people, to save them from trouble, and to protect everything.

In these modern years, many already do not recognize the true-to-life heroes and much more do not already believe with the television heroes. I, myself do not also recognize heroes because there wasn't a chance for me to meet them, even for the true-to-life ones. There is only just one hero for me. And that is Jesus. It is because he helps me, save me from trouble, and protects everything important to me. He is from the past, he is also with us in the present, and he will be always with us even in the future. Jesus is my modern- day hero. Even if I wasn't given a chance to personally meet him, I believe that I have already met him deep in my heart. He is my inspiration to my everyday life. He is the one who gives me strength, to whom I pray, thank, and for every victory, he is the one to whom I first look at. He is the one who gave me all, who gave me my all, which is my family.Jesus is my hero. I do believe that he was the hero of the ancient, still the hero of the modern, and always be a hero of the future.

Tatag ng Wikang Filipino, Lakas ng Pagka- Pilipino

Every country is entitled with its own native language. Every country lives with its own language,and with all its corresponding dialects. With this, citizens should be praising their own languages. By what? By simply using it. Without proper and adequate use of a specific language, it is most likely that that certain country  is already moderately dying. Imagine a country for example the Philippines with it's citizens using Chinese language, Japanese, Spanish, English, and others. It's horrible, right? The sense of being a Filipino of the citizens is dying because of the use of these foreign languages, which should not be.
The theme for this year's "Buwan ng Wika" is "Tatag ng Wikang Filipino, Lakas ng Pagka- Pilipino". With the theme itself, as a Filipino citizen, we can hereby say that the sense of our Filipino- being is based on our proficiency on using our language. The theme, or we can say "message" is saying that the dominance of the Filipino language in the Philippines corresponds to the strength of the people's citizenship as Filipinos.
Let us just imagine the Philippines blessed with loyal citizens. All use Filipino and its dialects only; Ilocano, Bisaya, Ilonggo, Waray, etc. Isn't is great? In this case, the Philippines would face the world standing strong and the world will be encountering a country with loyal citizens, a small country that has a big love from its citizens. All we Filipinos have to do is to simply use our language, and the that dream above will not be impossible to happen.
This message is simple yet made sense. I hope that you, viewers would apply what you have read in this post.
