JOEL D. SALAZAR

In early times, you are considered as hero if you did things that prove your bravery and passion for being distinguished and honored by millions of people. But as time goes by, we tend to minimize our expectations for them. We considered  a person who became an inspiration for the people around him. They were compassionate and remarkably marvelous mortals of all time, several heroes were living today.

                One of our teachers and considered as a hero in Congressional National High School and the adviser of IV- Amorsolo (S.Y 2011 -2012), Mr. Joel D. Salazar, made it this far to be one of the respected and honored teachers in our school. He was born on November 26, with an unknown year. Very mysterious right? Well, it reflects his personality. Secret lover but tried things to express his self in his own ways. He graduated in the Philippine Normal University which was known for being one of the best educators for aspiring teachers. He lived at Imus, Cavite which was a very historical place .

                I knew his funny side when he even told us that he maybe a dancer if he didn’t chose to be a teacher , this joke he entered in our conversation proves that he is just strict in the class , but was really a very cheerful teacher when outside . His favorite sport is bowling which is definitely an exciting and enjoying game. As you can see, there were only few information’s of him was revealed. But this little things, reflected a lot of his characteristics. And what is interesting  , he told us the thing that was never really known by the public . And that was , he is a very religious person after all the strictness he showed.

                I admit that this dedicated teacher is really strict in front of the class . But face your fears and try to know him better , you may know the reasons for every smile he shows . And with this , you might unexpectedly say that My Teacher is My Hero , which showed things to inspire us  and be unique in our own little way . “Do I make myself clear? “ (favorite sentence of Mr. Salazar that marks the end of his discussion )
