Modern Day Hero

My Superhero of All Times

Hero… Someone who has done something good and makes a difference in people’s lives. In this modern day, do you ever have a special person whom you consider as a hero? For me, I have also a superhero in my life; do you want to know her?

What comes to your mind when you heard the word hero? Is it Superman, Batman, Darna and Wonder woman? Based on the dictionary, hero means you admire them a great deal, usually because of a particular quality or skill that they have. Just like the heroes in the Philippines like Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Gabriela Silang etc. that they have shed their lives just to have a freedom. These days, I have lots of considering as my hero but then there is one that I really considered as my superhero of all times. My superhero was not admired and knew of many people, she’s not as popular as the heroes internationally. She doesn’t also wear superhero suits, doesn’t have superpowers, can’t fly just like what you see and watch in the television shows and fight with the zombies and whatsoever. She’s just a simple woman with extraordinary love and care for the family, relatives, friends and fellow people. Since the day I existed in this world, she’s already there by my side. She just like a flower that always loving and always open. I knew being in her position as a mother of six children is very hard, she’s doing all her best just to taken care us, let us be at home to be safe us and feed us at least six times a day. She’s also a very good example of a kind hearted person because she teaches us her children the good manners and right conduct not just at home but everywhere and every time and the way she taught us reflects on what I am today. She was so supportive by making me brave and strong that she gives advices that I can do it and always there to cheer me up at good times and even at bad times. She’s also the woman who doesn’t give up in what problems or challenges may come. Have you already known her? She is my mother, my superhero of all times. She’s not just my mother but also a friend, mentor and role model.

Doing good things without rewards is great, like my mother, my hero. She’s doing these things to me and for you, just to make her happy. I know my supermom is doing all her can for me and my family. I’m so glad and lucky to have her in my life. I don’t know what I’d do without my supermom; I just can’t live without her. She’s the reason why I wake up every morning, studying harder and seriously and keeping in following my goals and dreams so that someday, somehow, I will pay all her back for all the sacrifices for me. That’s all for the superhero of my life.
