My Teacher My Hero

          During my elementary days, when I transferred to a public school from a private one, the teacher that most inspired my life was Mrs. Eloisa Esguerra. She was my teacher on my third grade, kind, gentle and most of all she has a heart of gold.

          On my first day of school, I really felt lonely, since I’m new, I don’t have any friends yet. But then our adviser Ma’am Eloi approached me.  From that moment, when she was talking to me, I thought she was my mother. She gave me some good advices to cope up with new friends and the surroundings. She also inspired me to do my best in every thing that I do and when ever she talks or discuss, I always listen to her. For me, the way how she taught us was the best. Since we are in the public school, some of us don’t have money to buy some snacks, but then she will give some of her money from her own pocket to him/her without any hesitations. Even she was facing a tough problem; she will still smile while looking for the best solution.  The thing that most inspired me was when she chose me to be a contestant in Science Quiz Bee. I was not really expecting for it, but she said that she trusts me. When she said that, it was like my world became so perfect. From that day onwards, we became close since we were reviewing almost everyday, except Sundays. I really love the way how she taught me, the skills she used and her patience to me. She really did not lose hope in me even though I was having a hard time memorizing all the topics she teaches. If I can’t understand it through reading, she will let me see a video, have an experiment and learn it through actual ways. She was not like the other teachers I met, she was different, I can’t tell what it is, but there was something very unique about her that really inspired me.

          From all of the teachers I had, she was the one who most inspired me, not only mentally but also spiritually. She taught me a lot of things that became useful to me in the real world, where you cannot achieve anything without hardworking. Every teacher is a hero to her students, even though sometimes they can’t see it or feel it, it is just that we are sometimes having hard times to show how important and how we love our teachers but deep inside of our hearts, teachers you are our hero.
