My Teacher, My Hero

          As I enter our classroom for fourth year, I met our adviser. Her name is Mrs. Elizabeth Quitoriano. My first impression to her is she was so strict and would not allow us to have practice when we join a school base competition but then it seems not.

            One morning when we’re having a class, she made a joke for us then all of a sudden we felt that we are all laughing already that it seems to disturb the other classes. When we’re participating a contest, she allows us to have practice and give a moral support for us.

          Before, when we’re noisy, she always have sermon to us but now no more. It’s like she was already used in that trait of us. One time when we’re having our periodic test and we’re that very serious and are focus of what we are answering, suddenly, she said that Enzo Martinelli is watching us. When we already catch it up, we’re all laughing again because the one she had said was the printed picture of Enzo Martinelli who we get the name of our section.

          Having her as our adviser is really great. We enjoyed a lot those days that we’re having our discussions. We had a lot of so much fun with her jokes that are not corny and “havey” as we call it. In behalf of her being strict teacher and wants our discipline always, inside and outside, she’s good person and very joyful, kind and other good traits that she have.

           Maybe after this year, we’ve already forgot the topics that we discuss but the lessons and good morals that we learned from her will remain in our heart and mind. And in that way, I can now count her as a hero.

My Modern Hero

                     We all know that there are so many heroes now. There were heroes from past and present days, powerful or just an ordinary person, an adult or even a kid. There were lot of heroes but there is one that I admire and being proud of. It’s my mother who I include to be a hero.

          In the morning, she prepares everything that we.re going to use. She does household chores when I can’t do it. She looks for some side-line works so that she can find extra money for us to use because sometimes we’re lack of money because of so many things, bills and other commodities that we’re paying. Even though it’s just a simple way, even if she doesn’t sacrifice her life for others just like what the other heroes usually did, she still does a heroic thing because she would do everything just for us.

          Being a hero is not just sacrificing your own life just for the whole universe. It’s just being good, kind, responsible or just has all the good traits. Having a clean and golden heart, helpful to others when somebody needs is just being a hero.

          There were so many heroes especially from the early times. They were mark in the history. They have done something heroic. Nowadays, or at this present time, there were still heroes who are there to help just like my mother, now I can say that she is my modern hero.

            

Tatag ng Wikang Filipino, Lakas ng Pagka-Pilipino

Language is the organized system of speech used by human beings as a means of communication among themselves. There were so many dialects here in the Philippines but there’s only one language used to communicate with others.

As a Filipino, I’m proud of what our heroes did for us in making our country free from foreign conquerors in the early times. Thanks to President Manuel L. Quezon, in December 30, 1937, because of him Filipinos owned again its freedom from the conquerors.

Through different dialects, people in a particular area understand each other. They communicate each other through dialects like Iloko, Ibaloy, Kankanaey, Pangalatok, Pangasinense, Cebuano and others. They have different dialects but they can communicate with each other through Filipino Language.

Filipino language is not only for communicating with others but it can also help us and our country to make on its peak. Our language is a mark of the country. Filipinos now can do whatever they want to make our own country a good influence to others. And express the true essence of the theme “Tatag ng Wikang Filipino, Lakas ng Pagka-Pilipino.
