My Reaction in Dr. Jose Rizal’s Life
Dr. Jose Rizal's life was how basic it was. He did not opt for the opulent lifestyle that so many of us desire. He had
lived his life as simply as possible even before the Spaniards began to monitor him. I believe it was his parents'
efforts that caused him to live in this manner. I am certain that one's parents have the greatest influence on one's
lifestyle. I learned from Dr. Jose Rizal's life the necessity of parents participating in their children's values.
I also noticed that Dr. Jose Rizal's life was his composure and capacity to think sensibly even in the most difficult
situations. Rizal is a very kind, sensitive, and benign individual, in my opinion. His popular books, Noli Me
T'angere and El Filibusterismo addressed with social issues. He is a champion of social justice and equality, which
is something we should all strive towards. I feel our society would be in good shape if there were thousands of
people like Rizal. I've always wished that I could be like him in some aspects of his life, but I realize that this is
unlikely to happen. But what I'm doing is giving it my all and putting forth every effort to become a useful person
in various facets of life.
