Modern Day Hero

Superman, Batman, Wonder woman, Darna… these are just some of the fictional characters a lot of us know and we’ve been idolizing them ever since we were kids. But these characters can be found around us. Their traits can be found in some of the people around us.

Ever since we were born, there’s this one person who’s always there by our side, continuously and patiently guiding and teaching us. A person who’s always there ready to serve as your best friend and a listener whenever you have problems. A person who’s always there unconditionally loving us. This person is whom we call “MOTHER”.

For some it may sound cheesy but for me, I consider my mom my hero. Why? Without her, my life would be a mess. Without my mom who is patiently guiding me through all my decisions in life, I know that my life wouldn’t have any sense of direction. She served as my teacher who continually taught me things I should learn as I face my next years of existence here in this world.  My mom was always there to listen to every problem o encounter every day. She never stopped listening to those weeps of mine. She was always there extending her unending love and care for me. From the persons I’ve known, she’s the one who knows every single detail about me. She knows when I’m sad. She knows when I’m happy. She knows when I need her that bad. 

Without them, we would never be here in this world. Without them continuously watching our backs, our life’s way would be zigzagged. I’m very thankful that God gave me a mother who is hardworking, caring, loving and understanding. So, we must all know how to respect and obey our mothers. We must all strive hard so that when that time comes, all their efforts and sacrifices wouldn’t be put to waste. And little by little, those sacrifices will be repaid.
