"A hero is a man who does what he can" - Romain Rolland
Have you wondered what a true hero is like? When people say hero, they usually think of cartoon characters like Superman, Spiderman, or Wonder woman. A hero can wear anything and they can be as simple as we are. Everyone can be a hero, not necessarily save lives but we can be heroes on our own way. But did you know that heroes are hard to find? I found my hero and she is a teacher. A hero is someone who cares for my well-being. In life, people may come in go, some will be remembered and some are forgotten. One thing is for sure, I’ll never the person who is known to me as my second parent. My teacher my hero is Ma’am Evelyn B. Plaza, my Second year High School teacher. I am very proud to describe my favorite teacher to all of you and will share what I have learned from her because she is my teacher and my hero. She has the most beautiful personality I ever encountered. I am proud to say that she is beautiful inside and out. She has two small brown sympathetic eyes that showing his tender loving care to us, a pointed nose, and a red rosy lip. She has a short black shiny hair and brown Filipina complexion. My teacher is a very good example in her young age. She is supportive and very sincere. She is very nice and fun to be with. Sometimes she is like my mom because she is someone who can understand me. She is like a star in the night guiding my way not to be lost and became a better person. She always teaches us a good moral lesson. Like a hero, my teacher always helps me whenever i have problems in our subject especially in Math and she will sincerely help me with no doubt. A hero is someone who helps people. Even though I finish my study, she will still noticed me and invited me with my friend in their house to eat because for me a hero is someone who doesn't change. I really like my teacher. For me, she is the best teacher that I ever had. When we're acting for the role, when I was elementary and I was too shy that time. She hugged and comforted me and she said that you can do it. For me, she is the only teacher who hugged me just to help me relax, she always encouraged me. That is the best thing that my teacher has. She pulls her students up and helps them rise whenever they are down. I admire her for that. I know that being a teacher is really hard because you will always meet people with different faces and attitudes that can really make you tired. Though that is her case, she always give her leisure time to us just to have conversation and tell some stories with her on many things. She is really a positive person. She is so friendly not only with me but to other's also. She always smile and laugh whenever we have jokes to tell. My life would never be perfect. I would always experience the roller-coasters of being a human being but I would always remember one thing, that indeed, I was blessed. I was blessed to have people that would guide me. I was blessed to have people who would accept me for who I am. Furthermore, I am blessed to have you Ma’am Plaza in my life, you would always have a special place in my life, a great mentor and a friend.
For me, the word teacher stands for the one who Teach us, Encourage us, Aspire us, Care for us, Help us, Enhance us and Reminds us who we are and what we are. She may not be like those superheroes on television that have super powers, but for me she is not only a superhero but a friend that can be trusted. She will always be my superhero and she will always be the best teacher in the world no matter what. All teachers can be a hero if they have determination, patience, courage and dedication to work that can really inspire students. A hero is not only famous and seen on television because you can be a hero on your simple way.
