In the eyes of a child, what he/she sees is what he/she gets.
Motherhood is the noblest activity in a woman's life. Hence, only a mother can truly care for a child from pregnancy, to giving birth, to giving the best education, to giving him/her away in marriage, to look after her grandchildren and so on and so forth until her twilight age comes and even up to her last breath. this is a real scenario in our country because we Filipinos have a great bond-family ties.
Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flashman, Incredible Hulk, Captain Barbel and many more are the superheroes in the world of fantasy that a child may idolize during his/her pre-school age.
But as a chlid grows-up, the way he/she is being nurtured by his/her parents, come out of him/her in dealing with other people in his/her daily life outside their house. The behaviour of a child solely depends on the upbringing of her parents, secondarily, the way the teachers treat him/her in school.
Molding a child is a joint effort by the parents and the teachers. And with this, a child's mind collects different ideas and behaviours and with proper guidance, the child will become a good citizen.
So it's not Wonder Woman or Superman that takes the number one post in a child's list of superheroes when he/she is already in his/her teens.
My teacher, my hero, second to none is my one and only mother, who talks to us heart to heart on sensitive matters. So as a child, what I see is what I get. I salute all my teachers!
