Absence of Teachers--- Ignorance for All

There are uncountable questions on what hero do really mean. Is it a superhero with supernatural powers that fights felonious ones? Is it an opulent man that helps the destitute? Is it an Overseas Filipino Worker who is ready to beat the pain of being alone just to provide his or her family a comfortable, relaxing and better life? Is it a man who offered his own life just to save his fellowmen? What do really heroes and heroines mean? What makes them conceptualize the nature of a hero?

Even in modern age, there exists a hero and heroine. No one knows that even the folks we are with everyday are heroes. Maybe we would think of monuments to recognize our previous heroes or heroines, or maybe the streets, buildings, schools, towns and other more were termed after their names. But, except for those great men and women, we also have those persons that are our strong foundations to become a better individual that molds, guides, develops and directs us, beyond circumstances of life. We are with their guidance for approximately ten (10) months in a year, four (4) weeks in a month, five (5) days in a week and ten (10) hours in a day. We almost spent most of our childhood years with them, and so they are. They are our TEACHERS.

When talking about teachers, most probably that would visit your minds are the lessons, home-works, projects, and outputs. But not their sacrifices, right? Not their hard works, nor their pain. If we could just realize the sacrifices they have offered and still offering. If we could only discern the significance of our teachers. And that of, without teachers, there would be no professionals. There will be ignorance in the society.


At this juncture, wherein I will soon be leaving another level of learning and about to face harder, yet most significant part of learning, I can say that my teachers and I made a remarkable memory. They bequeathed me real life lessons as well as school lessons. And of course, home works, projects, and outputs can't be left over. And most of all, the "sermons" that we are receiving most of the times. These are the factors that strengthened my personality through my heroes . . .my teachers.
