A Big Fight to the Unknown

"A hero is someone who voluntarily walks into the unknown." - Tom Hanks
A hero does not build himself up by knocking other people down. Instead, hero helps those who are
down and learn to get up. Police officers, firefighters, health workers and many more walk into the unknown
every day. The unknown could be a bank robbed, a blazing building, or a recovering patient. These people
keep us safe by venturing these misfortunes and that is why they are important to us. These people take their
duties beyond.
When the news is all doom about the outbreak of the coronavirus, it is hard for even the most optimistic
among us to stay positive. It makes us easy to get negative thoughts and feelings creep in these trying times.
Nevertheless, we have our front liners like the police officers, firefighters, and health workers who are
sacrificing their own lives in staying at their works to maintain the safety of every Filipino. In return, we
back liners need to do our part as well. Amid this pandemic, our front liners keep their positive attitude and
even march forward with determination and hope. They assure that we are doing great before themselves. In
that, we, Filipinos should have something to live for.
As a youth, I will always choose to look first for the betterment of the society. I am recognizing good
deeds at the same time reject things, which are irrelevant and nonsensical like the spread of fake news,
which is very rampant nowadays, and we must not waste our time to that. Instead, focus on appreciating our
front liners for giving their biggest fight to defeat this unknown enemy. Showing appreciation to one’s good
action is the best way to show respect. Our front liners – our heroes.
