Modern Day Heroes

They are one of the Modern- Day Heroes

          Heroes. What could we derive from this word? One who is willing to sacrifice and need not to be known to become one? Then, if I am given a chance to award one of the heroes of our modern days I would choose the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW). Why? They are going to other countries to seek greener pasture because if they will stay here they will surely experience hunger and famine.

          Sometimes, when we say OFW, some may think that they are the ones who left their country. They chose to go to other countries despite of the job offers in the country. But if we dig deeper into it we would realize that they are just doing it to improve their economic status. I’m sure it was hard for them to decide and move away from their family but they had no choice.

          It is good if their employees are nice if not, they may suffer from all forms of abuse. Considering their sacrifices, they may be called modern-day heroes. They may be different in many ways but they have the same vision and that is to make their life more productive than before.
