What the teacher is… is more
important than what he teaches.
~Karl Menninger
Every one of us has a living
hero to whom which we admire. We know Wonder Woman, Flash, Superman,
Batman, and Spiderman as superheroes with extraordinary strength and
capabilities. But, these are just characters in the world of fiction and in
thoughts of man-kind. Do we really have living heroes which shed light unto our
profound existence? Of course, we all do have heroes which we keep in the
innermost chamber of our hearts.
True heroism never speaks of
super strength and super speed. It’s neither about invisibility nor flying
capability. Rather, true heroism is on the subject of full devotion,
selflessness, and sacrifice. A genuine definition that is truly and extremely
apposite for our altruistic teachers.
Our teachers who are munificent
of their time, talent, and knowledge are the living heroes and saviors of
today’s needs and inquisitiveness. Thanks to them, we are now living in a world
of learning, or should I say, a world of edifice: a preparation for tomorrow’s
dreams.
My teachers are my heroes for
they build us to become more of what we can be. They mold us to become better
populace of our realm. They not only teach but also touch the lives of not
hundreds of students but millions of us. They inspire us to do things not only
for ourselves but for others. They make us bite the apples they have. They
allocate whatever things or information they know. They are selfless.
The two-word “thank you” is
never enough in paying back the hard works and sacrifices they’ve given. As we
commemorate the Teachers’ Day Celebration, I take this opportunity in showing
appreciation to our teachers in Ilocos
Sur National
High School
