Heroes of Our Time

           I can still remember the first ever post I made about the person whom you consider your hero. I chose my mom, for she guides me, teaches me and loves me more than I'll ever know. But then I realized there are still lots of people whom we can consider our heroes --- our second parents, our TEACHERS. 

            Basically, when we think of it, a teacher is someone who provides education to the students. Come to think of it, how hard is it being a teacher? Unquestionably DIFFICULT. It is not just an easy profession to take. First of all, I think it's because you'd put a massive effort and time just to do your job when you are not that well-paid by the government. It's true especially when a teacher works in a public school. But what makes it really difficult is all the stress and pressure not only because of the hard-headed students (most of the time) but perhaps because of just simply being a teacher. I've been studying for eleven years now and I've always appreciated the teachers who became part of my journey to success. I truly appreciate how patient and understanding they are when it comes to educating students, like me.

            To the world they may be just a teacher but to a student like me, TEACHERS ARE THE HEROES OF OUR TIME.  They are our second parents who are ready to lead and guide us in the right way, no matter how hard situations could be. They are here to influence people, not to be influenced by the world. They do not only teach lessons from the books but they also share what lessons they have learned throughout their experience in their whole life just to inspire us. To encourage is one of the great things a great teacher could do.  They may not have the powers to save the whole world but instead, they can save OUR WORLDS. They treat us as if we are their own children. I salute them for their passion and commitment to mold the minds and personalities of young people. And most of all,  I salute my teachers for consuming themselves just to teach us the right things to be successful in life. Without them, there are no professionals who would exist today. So to every teacher out there, I greet you a happy happy teachers' day!

MA'AM, HERE'S A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU:

            Dear Ma'am May,

                    Happy Teachers' Day! I'm sorry if this is quite late but I still hope you'll appreciate this short message for you.

                        First of all, I want to say sorry for disappointing you and for making you expect the best from me. I failed so many times but you were still there to guide me whatever happens. You have seen me through my ups and downs and you understood me when not even my own family could understand. You don't have an idea how much grateful I am to have you as a teacher and as a special friend. I still remember one of our English class when you said we can count on you if we were currently facing a problem. I secretly cried for I had a big problem that time. I was too shy to share whatever my problem was but instead, I faced it on my own because knowing that someone could still understand my mistakes is worth the strength for. You are a blessing to me, ma'am. No doubt you are loved by many. I would also like to thank you for bringing out the best in me. You gave me the chance to be a leader, a singer, a dancer and a better individual. They said a teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. I know you've been a great teacher to my sisters and I guess that's why they are who they are not only because of my parents but also because of you. Experience is the best teacher but having you as my teacher is the best experience.  Thank you again for everything and I love you Ma'am!
