“YOU ARE MY HERO”

TEACHER…. The first person that taught us how to write letters, count numbers and to read words. They taught us anything that we need in order to survive in this environment. Having this job was one of the hardest for me, especially the pre-school teachers. They are the one that handles little children and taught them from their heart. For me, my hero is my former teacher…..Mrs. Leonila Tanag…. My understanding, very talented, patient and very sexy teacher.

During the last years of my elementary years… Maam, you really taught me lot of things. You’re one of the reasons why I’m her, studying in this Science School. I’m very thankful for the days that you are strict and you are asking me to do lot of jobs and to strive more. Thank you because you never let me down but instead, for every failures that I got in the contest that we joined before, you’re still there and giving me your hand and always telling me that, “winner or not, you’re still the best. Because you give a lot of effort for this and I know that you give all of your best”. That’s the only word that reminds me of you- your words that cleared my mind from everything. The words that taught me to fight and to believe in myself at all times. One of the most treasured moments with you was I was about to take the exam in CNSHS, you are very supportive and you even gave me a reviewer. I was really touched at that time Maam. Even if you are not saying it directly but I know and I know you know that I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. You’re always making me feel that I’m special, so you are….

Maam, even though I didn’t greet you in person but who knows… someday...You might read this… but there’s no word that can express how I’m thankful that you once become a part of my life. I want to say Happy Teacher’s Day Maam. You are my hero. A Hero that saved me from laziness and the hero that removed all of the shyness in me. You taught me how to be confident and to be a better person. I hope that you continue to guide your students and continue treating them like your real daughters and sons… again and again, I am thankful because you are my teacher.
