Have you ever experienced that you’re at risk and you need anyone else to help you because you’re going to die? A condition that there’s nothing to do to help yourself? That you thought it is the last existence of your life to the world. This is what we called a hero/heroine. A hero/heroine that we admired for his or her brave deeds and noble qualities.
In my case, a person in real life who has been my hero or the heroine I consider in my life is a friend of mine named Al-Naira. In fact, she’s my third degree cousin and an age of 15 at that time. Why? Because, long time ago when I was in elementary level, our family and relatives had a reunion. It’s the first time that the members of our family and their family as well had get together and bond each other. So we spend our reunion at Holiday Pool. We are approximately 150 persons in the celebration because there was no exception from the children to teenagers to adults, is all invited.
So, each one of us were busy. Our parents were having chitchat and discussing their present lives. We the children were also enjoying swimming the pool. And the teenagers were mingling each other. While I’m swimming in the 4 feet which is beside the 8 feet, I’ve carried away and swam going through 8.5 feet because I thought it was still 4 feet. So my life was in at risk. I was almost drowning. My companions who were also children and didn’t know how to swim were just shouting and shocked about the incident. Some also were just watching me and some asked somebody to save me. Glad to say my cousin who saw me had helped me and she dragged me through 4 feet. I was catching my breath and I feel nervous about what happened. I thought I’m going to die already. I’m very thankful that Al-Naira was there during the accident. From then on, I consider her as my heroine. I really owed her a lot.
However, because of that incident my parents got more protective to me. They didn’t allow me anymore going on a pool neither beach unless there’s someone would go with me like my sister. But nowadays, they’re not so strict anymore. May be because I’m matured now and I know what to do.
So, I know that each one of us has its own hero or heroine in their lives. In addition, we’re very fortunate that there’s still a person who is really ready to help other people though it comes to the point that their life would be in danger. Yet somehow, someday I also wanted to help the people who needs help especially the less fortunate ones not because I want to be famous and heroine but to serve my beloved country.
