My Teacher, My Hero

In times of trouble, a hero does not only think of himself but also that of others. He is willing to sacrifice his own safety for the sake of others just like what our national heroes did in order to gain freedom for our country. Nowadays, we have our modern-day heroes and I choose “my teacher” as “my hero” because of so many reasons.

Our teachers spend almost ten hours a day, five times a week at school educating students like me in order to gain knowledge which we can use for our good future. This means that they spend more of their time being at school than being with their family which is a great sacrifice on their part. They also play a great role in molding our behavior because they are considered our second parents and I salute them for the patience they have, especially in dealing with mischievous students. After school hours, they make lesson plans for the next day and at the same time do the household chores even if it means going to sleep late at night. I can imagine how tired our teachers are after a hard day’s work but I can see in their eyes that they are happy with their chosen profession because they always remind us that they will also be happy if, someday, we, students, will be successful in our chosen careers.
