a hero's duty

in #story8 years ago

 I've always wondered what a hero is? If they really exist? Or if it is only a person that we imagine or see in the movies, a hero according to the society is one that despite the difficulties despite having all the odds against faces the enemy Combat their fears despite their deficiencies and more important that everything I said has superpowers and fights against the villains.

And like all good heroes, of whom I come to speak is a hero with natural superpowers, and although natural super power is quite unknown among human society, his super power is patience and constancy Like all heroes, ours also has a super villain, is called lazy and bad attitude.

Michael is a 55 year old man, has been a stockbroker for a long time, which has generated a very good social position, although his life would change when he decided to be a high school teacher. Michael in his youth I thought of being a high school teacher until I got to study and prepare to be him, he loved the children and to teach, but the social and economic pressures made him to take another way, later in his life Michael would return to his dream that is to be School teacher.

he work in a high school in a good neighborhood near where Michael lived, the first thing that caught his attention was the salary difference between the professors, but at the moment it did not give much importance because Michael did not work For money, he worked for the passion of teaching.

Michael teaches mathematics and finance in high school, although he was very methodical and demanding towards something simply great, taking the time to explain and listen to what his students had to say That Michael's ability made him stand out quickly about the other teachers who had been attached to the routine and had stopped innovating, possibly due to the few motivations they found in their workplace or had forgotten only because they loved to teach.

A day in finance classes a student raises his hand to ask a question to Michael, the student asks the following "what does this teacher teach me? I do not know if I want to go to college Michael may have taken the student out of class or given a sarcastic answer to the student's mockery, instead Michael asks him what you want to be when you leave this...

The student I answered I want to have a lot of money a big house and a luxury car Michael patiently replied that is very well, but I asked you who you want to be? Not what you want to have! We all want material things and a lot of money and it is true that money is very helpful and quite necessary but any idiot with some cunning has a lot of money, I ask you that...

The class was silent in response to the teacher's response, they had never considered who they wanted to be in life, the teacher decided to finish the class earlier and did something atypical to send a homework essay, the essay consisted of two simple questions Who are you and who do you want be ?

The next week when they were all together, they volunteered in front of the class reading their respective essay, each of the students except the one who had asked the teacher in the last class. Michael approached the student and said, calm this task does not have any notes, however I wanted you to do it to know who you were and who you wanted to be, you do not have to tell me, that's something you have to answer for yourself, I want to tell you who I want to be, who I am and who...

Michael told him his life as a stockbroker, and how much that fortune cost him that he kept in his bank account, his failed loves, get away from his dream and now that he has already been able to start living the life he always wanted to live

Michael taught not only that student in life you have to find the balance between happiness and money, that money is only a tool that will allow you to develop your potential to the maximum to live your talent and be happy

  Michael taught the student that money is a consequence of the job well done and the constant search for improvement
