Just
Heroes
Super heroes are
those beings who have these incredible super powers, like flying, super
strength, telekinesis, Dashing speed, invincibility etc. Common kids these days
look up to those so called super heroes. They believe in them and admire them
so much, but they don’t even exist. Kids should look up to real heroes not
Superman, Batman, Ironman, Spiderman, and so on. Instead of pretending to become
these ‘super’ heroes, why don’t they just aspire and dream of becoming a true
hero like a teacher, policemen, firemen, taxi drivers, basketball players, etc.?
Real heroes are those who help others willingly and
wholeheartedly and do not expect anything in return. The first normal day
heroes you encounter every day is you family. They are the ones who help you
every day in the times of trouble. When you wake up in the morning and go down
stairs, you feel hungry. Luckily you have your mom making breakfast for you.
When a light bulb dies, don’t worry. Your father comes along to replace it with
another one. When you have difficulties in your studies or assignments, never
fear! For your big brother or big sister are here! Here to help you with your
problems. Your family is the greatest every day normal heroes ever. But they’re
not the only normal day heroes; take a look at Mr. or Mrs. Teacher She or he
always give time to teacher his/her students. From basic mathematics 1+1=2 up
until [50/2(1/5) + (-2 x 3) -3] =2. Your teachers are always there to guide you
to a better, brighter future without anything in return. Another modern day
hero is Mr. Taxi driver. For instance, you were late at work and your car doesn't start for some reason, you call on Mr. Taxi driver to save the day. Dashing
through traffic as fast as he can just to get you to your destination. Let’s
also take a look at the Policemen. Always there to keep the neighborhood or
the city safe. When a thief steals, when a burglar breaks into a jewelery shop,
when a fight emerges from the streets, cops are always there. When fire bursts
out in a building, who do we call on? Firemen! One call and they bolt out of
their building with their fire truck to save several lives in a burning building.
Heroes are not born, heroes are made. Just like the historical heroes, they were made by pain and suffering. Heroes are made by experiences and knowledge. They are made by a cause, a reason. Dr. Jose P. Rizal, John F. Kennedy, Andres Bonifacio, George Washington etc. I’m just saying that we can be heroes if we want. We can be
heroes in our own small ways. If you help an old woman cross the street, you
are already doing an act of heroism. Why admire those super heroes when you can
be a hero yourself.
