Overseas Filipino Workers as Everyday Heroes<br />
1<br />
Overseas Filipino Workers take a huge risk when they travel and work<br />
abroad. OFWs sacrifice a lot in order to give a better life for their families.<br />
They are heroes in their own right because they live to help their families and<br />
sometimes even other people they do not even know, but are in need of their<br />
help and support.<br />
2<br />
Heroes think of other people first before they think of themselves. Heroes are unique individuals<br />
that sacrifice themselves for the sake of others. OFWs face great challenges head on with only their faith,<br />
hope, and determination to carry them through. They strive hard to ensure that their children‘s future<br />
would be bright and that they would live a life that they have dreamed of.<br />
3<br />
What are OFWs made of? They are made of determination, courage, a risk-taking attitude, a<br />
heart of gold, and other qualities that make them everyday heroes to a lot of people. They go beyond<br />
their call of duty to help their families, to help their country and sometimes people in need, even if it<br />
means putting themselves in danger.<br />
4<br />
You do not have to be an OFW to be a hero. You are a hero if you sacrifice a part of yourself to<br />
help other people who are in need. You are a hero if you can make someone else smile despite the trials<br />
and challenges he has. You are a hero if you can make others feel better about themselves. If you do any<br />
of these, then you are a hero in a person‘s heart.<br />
