“The purpose of human life is to
serve and to show compassion and the will to help others.” Exactly, this suits for the men
with great
minds, our dear teachers.
We
have our
own perspectives in life. We have our own aims and goals. At our young age,
we are still
on the starting line. We still need to acquire more things.
And the best way is to learn from the best so
we can
really play the role our country has given us. We, the Filipino
youth have the potential
to build
a well-developed and
competitive
country for each and every Filipino. But before we could do that, we need
first
to step on the
shoulders of giants as Isaac Newton said.
They
are our real hope. They are the primary keys to a brighter tomorrow of our
country. Knowing the fact that they teach as a means of earning money, they
also see in it a service to mankind which ennobles them.
Their
willingness to
serve has been their greatest virtue. And this willingness consorts
with sacrifice. All day long, they keep on nurturing our minds with knowledge and filling
our hearts with love as well. We are very lucky that in this modernized
world, there are still people who show compassion. How could we be able to reach our own
stars if we have nothing to step up to? How could there be doctors, architects, chefs and
engineers without teachers?
It
is now the time for us to ponder. Provided that our teachers
have also their families who crave for their presence, they still manage to perform
their duties and responsibilities as teachers in school. In fact, they spend most of their
time with their students in
school rather than enjoying with their family. They sleep late at night
and must have to get up early in the morning.
Teachers
are not asking for something in return. But then again, for us who are
learning from them, it is our obligation to respect, understand and love them.
Let us thank them for the never-ending guidance for us to attain our
aspirations.
Undoubtedly,
teachers are
regarded as the noble people. They serve us most and serve our
country best. They are the ones who plant and develop seeds that grow
forever. For us, the Filipino youth, they are our heroes who convert us into better citizens
of our nation.
