Thumbs up everyone! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about a hero. It’s very
interesting to know how you described a hero according to you own perspective. Perhaps you
will find it humorous when someone says “He is going to do some research works to help me
until midnight. For me – that’s a hero!”

C. LESSON WRAP-UP

FAQs
1. Is it really important to study the life and works of Jose Rizal in college? Why?
Yes, because we can learn many lessons from Rizal’s life and we will be inspired by his
works.

2. Are heroes born or made? Explain

Heroes are made, not born. Anybody can become a hero in different capacities and
perspectives. So do not undermine yourself; you are a hero to some out there. You may not be
celebrated and not awarded a silver medal, but you still remain a hero. Someone in this world is
living because of your heroic action, and again you might think you are a nobody today and
tomorrow you are somebody. All the heroes like Rizal we celebrate today were one time like you and
they just rose to hero-status; so, you can also make it. We are all equally important to our family, our
community, and our country.
