The Philippines’
national hero, Jose Rizal in my perspective was one of the most captivating life
stories that I have ever encountered. He is not perfect. He is not the most
ideal person you’ll expect but what made his biography interesting was his
dedication to what he believes in, his passion and his love for the country.
Throughout
this semester, I have learned a lot about the life of Rizal. He is considered
one of the geniuses in the country but he is not the typical hero you imagined.
Yes, he is smart, talented and religious but he can also be witty, was even involved
to fights and considered a playboy during his time. Despite that, his flaws
don’t make him less of a hero. One of the things I got amazed about was his
achievements in life. He became a doctor, novelist, linguist and was able to
travel around the world in such a young age. He was able to do a lot of things
because of his interest and commitment to learn and do them. He, writing Noli
Me Tangere & El Filibusterismo and the other heroic things he did proved
that despite his age, youth is the true hope of the nation. He was able to
express himself on what is happening to the country and wake fellow Filipinos
up.
I’ve
learned throughout this semester that it takes courage and trust in oneself to
face the storms in your life. If making a change is really into your heart, you
can do it. It is not impossible to reach your goals just like what Rizal did if
you are really committed on what you are doing. Rizal might not be the best
Filipino national hero for everyone but I can say having someone like him is
one of the best things that happened in the country.
