His mother was the one who laid the foundation of his great knowledge achieved in such a short time.
For Rizal, the real mission of education is to elevate the country to the top of glory and to develop people’s holistic formation. As we all know, education is the strong foundation of society and a requirement for social progress. We need a leader like Rizal, who will empower and initiate positive changes and transformations in the society as a whole today and tomorrow.

4. 5 Famous Poems
Rizal’s 5 Famous Poems: * Memories of My town * “The Song of Maria Clara” * Song of the Traveler * Katapusang Hibik Ng Pilipinas * "To The Filipino Youth"
Jose Rizal spent a great part of his life writing compositions, essays, poems, as well as his novels. Including these poems, there were several messages given to remind the country of the extreme sacrifices he and others have given for the cause of freedom. These express the love for the native land and it tells the gratitude for whatever we have is a powerful prayer or calling. These poems also reminding us to be more nationalistic and have passion for our own country.
5. The Indolence of the Filipino People
Rizal observed the behaviors of the Filipinos past and present in his time. He said that the indolence is the effect of the backwardness and troubles of experienced by the country. In the start, he said that the hot climate is a reasonable predisposition for indolence. By this he means that the Europeans have a cold climate thus they need to move around more to compensate with their climate, they also make more food for storage in case a calamity strikes, and that produces more work. The Spaniards labeled us as bums and lazy people because they are egocentric.
That clearly doesn't show that we are lazy. It simply shows that we are contented with our way of living. Carrying on, Rizal said that an illness will worsen if the wrong treatment is given. Before, early Filipinos were already carrying out trades; they were into agriculture and mining. That shows that we are hardworking and independent group of people. We have a society that is clearly showing off progress. When the Spaniards arrived they criticize our way of living. That eventually led to changing the Filipino culture.
Sadly, we have a misfortune past. When the Spaniards arrived, the frequent wars, insurrections, and invasions have brought disorder to the communities, thus resulting to chaos and destruction. Filipino men have been brought to different countries to fight wars for Spain, force labor was implemented to ship yards and natives move to mountains because of the abuses the Spaniards has brought to them. That caused resulted to decrease in Filipino population, neglect of farms and trauma.
Trade has declined, because of pirate attacks and the many restrictions imposed by the government, which gives no aid for crops and farmers. This and the abuse suffered by farmers have caused many to abandon the fields. Businesses were monopolized by government.

Way back in my elementary days, we were asked what we would like to be when we grow up. I answered, “My dad is a great, smart and handsome accountant and I wanna be just like him.” I believed that what we turn out to be is patterned on our parents, how we are brought up by them and how our family supports us in what we do. In Rizal’s case, his abilities, I believe, came from his parents. His skills in literature particularly in poems and his skill in speaking Spanish came from the upbringing he got from his mother, Teodora Alonso and his skills in philosophy came from his father, Francisco Mercado.…

I’ve reflected from the movie the nationality of Rizal for our country.

Rizal as a dedicated citizen who had great hopes to gain independence to our country observed Europe and its whole events including the revolutions inside and outside the continent and its advancement. As an exceptional thinker, Rizal took the opportunity to learn and to understand the conspiracies around him and his observations made him visualize the desire of the oppressed people which he related it to his aggrieved countrymen. He witnessed the cruelties in the 19th Century Europe and saw the hearts of the people on fire. Through these, he valued freedom of thought, equality of men, he inherited nationalism. This period really made tremendous effects to Rizal and to his works such as his famous novels and the Propaganda movement which latter granted our motherland the freedom and independence after his death.

I learned from him that the time is very important because, for Rizal he never wasted his time to those unimportant things and that is right. He wrote different poetry’s which are reflected on what things he experienced, feelings that he wanted to write every time he had a free time. He is very dedicated in his study he took a lot of subjects, courses, and philosophies that can make him a brilliant Filipino citizen. In his school life he tried his very best to become an emperor in the class which means the person who had a highest grades in the class. His works and writings can give lessons to us it shows that all Filipino people are not an idiot like what other citizens called to us. It’s an honor for me that Jose Rizal fights our freedom and our right being a Filipino. His works and writings are ways to develop our nationality in accordance with law as exercising the field of learning. His always positive in life whatever happen he considered this only a challenge from God, and he faces it for his family. I learned that if you wish to achieve your goals in life just focus, trust yourself, and be like Rizal who’s always took reading, writing and did a lot of good things in order to be a better man and useful citizens.…
