“Rizal’s Early Childhood”

After watching the replay of this webinar, I have learned the early life of our
national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Rizal is one of our mightiest heroes who fought for our
freedom from the colonization of Spain who ruled the Philippines for a long time, 333
years to be exact. In fact, we already know in our elementary school that his
nickname is Pepe. But in order for us to fully understand and embody our race as
Filipinos, we must acknowledge those people who have contributed to the existence
of our freedom in this age.

As a formal start to the conversation that Ms. Lea Marie Aznar gave, she
explained that Rizal's childhood consisted of a very Filipino and traditional way of life.
This Rizal is the seventh child of Francisco Mercado Rizal and Teodora Alfonso y
Quintos. Rizal was born on June 19, 1861 in Calamba Laguna. According to the
speaker, his mother almost died because Rizal had that big head when his mother
gave birth to our national hero.Although quoted by everyone, it is not necessary for us
to understand the biography of Dr. Jose P Rizal because the most important thing is
his contribution to our country to liberate Spain, but I am not very liked because for
us to share our gratitude to these people who fought for our freedom it is to share their
whole life to consider where they came from and why are they bravely fighting for
our freedom even though it is not their responsibility as individuals, now to respect
this or shout out to all new born Filipino children that these people exist and to write
things about Dr. Jose P. Rizal for the next generation who will wonder how beautiful
our story is about the contribution of heroes. Many topics are included in university
studies these days, but a few of them are studies that stimulate the heroes of our
country and with a webinar called "Rizal's Early Life" that really touched me, it's not
just to share a message in my social media account about trends and events of today,
but to use it as a way to bring in or share links of Rizal's contribution in our country
as he devoted his love and devotion to his countrymen, especially during the
prehistoric colonization. We have to be smart to be aware of what we can offer as a
Filipino, that we have so much to offer in our country at a young age by bringing and
carrying our flags to all corners of the world.

In this webinar I learned a lot from the life of Rizal and I want to share it to
others specially to those who didn’t know the background of Jose Rizal. My key
takeaway from this webinar is that learning capacity is boundless, as Dr. Jose P Rizal
never stops studying and grabbing any opportunity to be intellectually brilliant for
himself in order to aid our country and connect independence to our motherland. That
we are now an independent country, enjoying life as he sees it, thanks to his
intelligence.
