Every people have someone they
admired to, someone who they considered an inspiration in attaining their
dreams and even a part of it. They looked up to these person with all respect
and admiration. They might be someone who have fought against a dictatorship,
helped numerous people yet it isn't a responsibility they have to do. These
persons are what we call to as heroes.
A hero (heroine is usually used for
females) (Ancient Greek: ἥρως, hḗrōs), in Greek mythologyand folklore, was
originally a demigod, their cult being one of the most distinctive features of
ancient Greek religion. Later, hero (male) and heroine (female) came to refer to
characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of
weakness, display courage and the will for self sacrifice—that is, heroism—for
some greater good of all humanity. This definition originally referred to
martial courage or excellence but extended to more general moral excellence.

My hero is not a specific person
known to man yet I choose them as a group of heroes, the country-builders. They
are the great men and women who passionately serve the country to attain what
we enjoy nowadays. These persons have sacrificed there lives for the cause they
unceasingly believe in. It isn't there duty to do so yet they did what they do
think was right and beneficial to many even it cause their lives. We have reap
what they sew. Without them, we are still facing the dilemma of being under the
Spaniards, Americans, Japanese or dictatorship or any superior individuals
taking advantage on the weak persons who don't have the ability to fight back
or stand even for themselves. Without them, we are reaping a bitter harvest.
They are the role models that inspires mankind to live a better life not only
for themselves but also for their fellowmen. In my life, they have inspired me
to balance everything and consider the what is the effect of a single decisions
I make to mankind. Though I'm not perfect, it's not bad to try it heartily and
be selfless in someways. Heroism is not is an infinite loop. They are the
persons who can truly prove that "actions speaks louder than words."
We never knew that you can be a
hero someday.
