My Teacher, My Hero

There are countless definitions of heroes in our world today. Is it a superstar who used his fame and fortune to help the needy in his hometown? Is it a firefighter who sees no danger in all circumstances just to save lives of people? Is it an Overseas Filipino Worker who is ready to bear the pain of being alone just to provide his family a comfortable life? Or is it a mom who has to work two jobs to support her children and still make them feel the love they need? But what really makes a person a hero?
Behind these great people are strong foundations that guide and develop them all throughout. Education is one of the greatest gift mankind can ever receive. It is vital to anybody. The role played by teachers becomes very significant since they are considered as one of the nation builders. On him rests the failure or the success of the nation.
The influence of the teacher is very immense and no one knows when this influence becomes visible. Since the teacher serves as the second parent of a child, he should have the qualities of a role model person. From the simple ABC and 123 to keeping the surroundings always clean are learned from the Kindergarten teachers which are still applicable today. These knowledge, attitudes, values and behavior bring out good and responsible citizens.
The teacher measures the achievements and aspirations of the nation. The teacher is a dynamic force that motivates everyone to become a responsible, productive citizen. The teacher is the backbone of the community. SACRIFICE, DETERMINATION, COURAGE, DEDICATION, SELFLESS, PERSEVERANCE – these are the common qualities attributed to a hero. After reading this essay, when do you consider a person a hero?
my teacher is really my hero!!!!

breastfeeding

Bottle feeding in the US has become the social norm. Today more women are working outside the home and forumla feeding seems to be faster and more flexible, and a hostility towards breastfeeding has been adapted. Those who choose to breast feed are looked down upon, and more often than not, breast feeding in public is not an option for them. Although it is seldom, women are even seen in the news for causing negative reaction to breastfeeding in public. But why?

The breast has become sexual symbol. People view the breast as erotic and women and are usually viewed through the neverending desire of men. This has implanted the idea that women's breasts exist soley for the purpose of pleasure to others, and not for the purpose of providing nurishment to their young. When people see a women breastfeeding, their reaction is usually ackwardness and distaste because our society has accepted the idea that the breast is sexual and not reproductive.

This trend in not using the female breast as infant nourishment needs to be reversed. It has been thought that formula is nutritionally equal to breast milk and has been endorsed by the Pediatric community sence the 1950's, but this is not the case. There are several reasons why breast milk is healthier. Breastmilk contains over four-hundred nutrients that cannot be recreated in a laboratory. These nutrients are essential to the healthy production and growth of babies. Infact, the caloric density, protein, carbohydrates, and fat in breastmilk changes with the growth of the baby in order to meet the nutritional needs of the baby, unlike formula. Breastmilk is also uncontaminated by bacteria and is easier for the infant's stomach to digest. Infants who have been breast fed for at least eight months have reduced risks for:

* childhood cancers
* diarrheal diseases
* respiratory illness
* ear infections
* bacterial infections
* diabetes
* infant botulism
* Crohn's disease
* ulceratius colitis
* obesity
* SIDS
* cavities

"Breast is best," not only because it is healthier for the baby but also because it has benefits for the mother as well. Nursing mothers enjoy a reduced risk for both breast and ovarian cancer, osteoporosis, and weight loss. It has also been proven that mothers who breastfeed have an increase in confidence and ability in caring for their infant.

Other benefits of breastfeeding include convience and cost. Unlike formula, breastmilk is free! Parents who choose to formula feed their child spend an average of $800 per year, per baby on formula alone, not including the cost of bottles. Breastfeeding also decreases production of hazardous waste such as plastic bottles and rubber nipples, and it lowers health insurance premiums for everyone due to healthier babies.

Many women choose not to brestfeed because they say it hurts or their baby is not eating enough. The truth is that the breast naturally creates more than enough for the size of the infant's stomach. Most problems arise becuase mothers have not been taught how to show their babies how to latch on correctly. When the baby is latched on correctly, the nipple is usually far back in the infant's mounth and should cause no pain. When breastfeeding it is important that the infant not have any other fluids other than breastmilk, even water. Other fluids, objects like pacifiers, and even just one bottle of formula can lead to the "distraction" of the infant from breastfeeding and make it harder for the mother and the infant to breastfeed.

Let me begin by saying that you will be reading a SONA reaction from a loyal Noynoy Aquino supporter. However, this does not mean that I will be singing kumbaya with my President at all times – just because. Having said that, I will try to be fair with Gloria Arroyo (Can you imagine me saying that? I must be going nuts!) By saying that the findings would have been more believable if it was conducted by a third-party and/or independent auditors and I’m certainly not referring to the Commission on Audit because I’m really confused what their role is, given the unrelenting news on graft and corruption. It would probably serve the nation best, to have each department be audited by independent auditors.

Now, let me start by saying that for all the bruhaness of Gloria Arroyo, it is shocking to finally find out, that she has no balls after all, to face the sitting president just like what educated leaders in the west does. So much for respect, for we know who does not deserve one. If indeed Noynoy Aquino’s numbers were erroneous, she could have offered a rebuttal right after the speech, similar to what is being practiced in the United States after every State of the Union Address by the sitting President, where in a rebuttal will be issued by the other party to counter whatever charges or claims unpalatable to the opposition. But here, all that Gloria Arroyo can do is fly her equally [insert word here] husband to Hong Kong.

Blame the teasers for there is nothing memorable in the speech anymore. It doesn’t have the umpt! or the “I have a dream” inspiration or persuasion. In my opinion, our President made a mistake by discussing to the media the meat of his speech. It would have been more dramatic and piercing to see Gloria Arroyo at the Plenary Hall while he was delivering his punches. We love telenovelas, don’t we?
