My Teacher, My Everyday Hero

 

This year’s Teachers’ Month theme, “My Teacher, My Hero,” reminds me of the many teachers who helped shape who I am today. They were not just instructors. They were mentors, cheerleaders, and quiet heroes who believed in me even when I doubted myself. Their lessons went beyond textbooks. They taught me how to think, how to care, and how to speak up for what matters.

I remember one teacher who patiently explained Filipino idioms until I understood not just the meaning but the emotion behind them. Another teacher encouraged me to use my writing to make people feel something.  I try to make my work both accurate and meaningful, just like they taught me.

To show my gratitude, I live out their lessons. I help younger students, I speak up about classroom shortages and sleep health, and I support Filipino heritage through creative projects. I also say thank you—through letters, and small acts of kindness. But the best way I honor them is by continuing to learn and share what I know.

So to all my teachers—past, present, and future—thank you. You are my heroes. You didn’t just teach me facts. You taught me how to think, how to feel, and how to fight for what matters.
