There's a Hero

There's a Hero
(for the people who made a difference, and those who will carry on.

The new song that I have added is called "There's a Hero". I tried to find a downloadable version by the original singer, Billy Gilman..but non available.This version is by an Australian singer, Troye.

Anyway, here are the lyrics which I find meaningful.
And I suppose, I can dedicate it to a special bunch of people who make up the class of 2008...Go and Make your mark in the world...ok?

There's a Hero - lyrics by Don Cook & Jake Jarvis

There's a flower in the smallest garden
Reaching for the light
There's a candle in the darkest corner
Conquering the night
There is amazing strength
In a willing hand
There are victories
That you've never planned

There's a hero
In everybody's heart


There's a fire inside of everybody
Burning clear & bright
There's a power in the faintest heartbeat
That cannot be denied
Go on and trust yourself
Cause you can ride the wind
You're gonna take your dreams
Where's they've never been

There's a hero
In everybody's heart

Go on and trust yourself
Cause you can ride the wind
You're gonna take your dreams
Where they've never been

There's a hero
In everybody's heart


I know that in one of my entries, I spoke of heroes like Lincoln, Gandhi and Mandela.
But for today, I want to talk about the unsung heroes that I know of.

Where I work, there is one person who is worthy of being put high up on a pedestal. Someone who is selfless, caring, compassionate, empathetic, resilient...who is the embodiment of what a true educator should be.

She is indeed a rare breed...and beside her, I am humbled.
She is my friend, and I think I have said this before...it will be years before I think I will ever reach up to her level.

This year, I will have to say goodbye to a person who, in a way, has come to be my mentor. His set expectations were rather high, and at times, I felt like giving up. But he taught me that you need to balance your head, and your heart...in order for me to move on. I want to thank him for his guidance all these years, for I think, I have grown.

What is a hero?
Don Quixote is still a hero, despite his lunacy...He dared to challenge, he dared to take risks, he dared to believe...he dared to fight for what he stood for. Maybe that is why, I think, he should have just kept on his quest...for sometimes, we fight alone.


The quest is still on...but today, I saw the windmills for what they really are.
I shall still continue with my journey, for I am learning more about myself.

Prayer for today
Dear God...let me choose the door that will allow me to get out.....
