INTRODUCTION

 Jose Rizal was not a physically

blessed or strong. However, he had
a strong will guided and taught by
his mother, his first teacher.
 He learned almost without the use
of books. His mother was the one
who laid the foundation of his great
knowledge achieved in such a short
time. His brilliance was also the
character of  the young Jose Rizal.
Jose Rizal learned his letters at the age of three

He also spent much of this time in a church nearby

his house just watching or observing the people
coming in and out.
Three uncles who were brothers of his mother also
had much influence on the early childhood of Jose
Rizal. 
(Jose, Manuel, and Gregorio)
 Clay and wax were the favorite
play materials of Rizal.

 He used these materials in forming

modeled birds and butterflies. This
animal molding activity also started
his study of nature.
Even in his childhood, Rizal already knew
how to respect the rights of others and
requested his elders to reason with him
rather than get mad at him for small
offenses. He became a welcome
companion for adults even at his young
age since he respected their moods and
was never a hindrance to their activities.
