Jesse Robredo
Sec. Jesse Robredo, as one of the finest servants of the Philippines, his death was a big impact to the whole nation. It was like a sudden and unexpected death that nobody ever knew it would happen. As their Piper Seneca plane crashed off the shore of the Masbate Island, and so his family’s hearts were in pain. At first, his family was still hoping that the news has just mistaken, but after the intense search for Jesse’s body, he was found dead and his remains were brought by P-Noy to Naga City were his family and fellow citizen is waiting. Truly he was so loved by his people whom he served for he was adored by many of them especially his people in Naga were he serves as a Mayor for several terms. He was more than those superheroes such as Batman and Superman because he was a TRUE HERO-a hero who is not measured by the size of his strength, but by the size of his heart. His sudden death can be a big lost to the country for he was one of our great leaders. We are all mourning for it, but on the positive side, his death could have been a good thing if we will just let his legacy touch are hearts and made ourselves more productive in a way that we would start in taking steps to a brighter future just like his Tsinelas Leadership, “No frills, no kaartehan, but with a clear vision.”- Sec. Rene Almendras

Life can be unfair to Jesse at some points for he was gone that no one had expected it would be as early as that. But still, he was held bigger than life after his sudden death. It might be hard for us to be just like him. A good family man, a great leader, but it would be better for us if we would start to make heroes of ourselves. It’s not easy to find someone to see your best as what Piglet says but maybe if we would just go beyond the extraordinary things, we will never know you might be the next hero of your generation. http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/271218/news/nation/robredo-extolled-for-tsinelas-leadership Jose Rene D.

    This article is about the kidnapping of Carlina White. Carlina Renae White was born July 15, 1987 and was also known as Nejdra “Netty” Nance. Carlina White was a 23 year old US American citizen who had solved her own kidnapping case at the age of 23. This abduction was known to represent the longest known gap in a non –parental abduction where the victim was returned back to their parents. The story begins when Carlina was just 19 days old when her parents Carl Tyson and Joy white had taken Carlina to the hospital due to her having high fever on August 4, 1987. Unfortunately, they realized that Carlina had swallowed fluid during her delivery and had developed an infection. A woman had overseen Carlina while she was in the hospital however; she was not a hospital employee. This mysterious lady seemed to be normal and had then comforted the parents of Carlina three weeks before the abduction. Baby Carlina disappeared early one morning while the shifts were changing. Unfortunately, the cameras in the hospital where not operating, so the police had nothing to go on but a description from Joy and Carl. The baby was receiving antibiotics when the IV line was cut and she was abducted. One of the hospital guards said that she did recognize the same lady that Joy and Carl described; however, there was no baby with her. The police assumed that the baby could well have been hidden in her smock. This case became the first well known infant abduction from the New York hospital. The city of New York offered a $10,000 cash reward for the return of Carlina. The parents Joy and Carl quickly filed a 100 million dollar suit against the hospital in 1989, and received a 750,000 settlement in 1992. Carlina was raised by Annugetta Pettway in Bridgeport, Connecticut as Nejdra Nance. Throughout the years Carlina grew suspicious because she had no social security card and a forged birth certificate by her assumed mother Annugetta. Carlina also…

    He had to struggle to fit in, he had to prove to society that he belonged with those athletes all throughout high school and and into college. Living in that lifetime would’ve been hard for all non-white races. I think that if Jesse Owens wouldn't have been one of the students who didn't fight for that right to compete, then he wouldn't have set the stage for Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays later on the years. People who fight for believe in even when it's frowned upon and the true heroes. They are willing to change the landscape and pave the way for the future. That is exactly what Jesse did in his high school, college, and Olympic…

    Even though the Red Caps were whipping their team 16-9! Jesse still didn’t lose hope. He swung as hard as he could and encouraged his teammates. For example when he cheered his pitcher on “Come on, you can do it. Jesse told Elias.” Jesse even let a low ball hit his shin so he could get on base. After that he made it all the way to 3rd base! This shows that even at the hard and challenging times Jesse did not give up at what he…

    The documentary provided opportunity for the MC students and generally the public to know more about the life that he lived and the legacy that he left behind particularly the “Tsinelas Leadership”. It was named after Jesse Robredo who is known to wear tsinelas even when carrying out his official duties as Cabinet Secretary. For me, it just shows his simplicity and his ties with the masses. I think leaders must be accessible to the people they serve instead of intimidating them through their influence, power and their wealth. But people were not shy to approach Robredo because he made them feel that he was also one of them, by simply wearing his comfortable slippers. This made him popular to the common people. The documentary showed the late secretary’s willingness to go where most people normally do not go just to be with the most underprivileged people. Whether responding to disasters or planning to rescue flood victims, Jesse Robredo would always turn up. The documentary also showed how he fought for the rights of the urban poor as well as the rights of the disabled people to a public education. The concrete proof of his works can be seen in the high schools, daycare…

    Michel-Guillaume Jean de Crevecoeur’s argument states that every race will become united and accomplish great changes. Some may say that immigrants are corrupting America, but contrary to their beliefs, immigrants are improving America through their hard work and labor. In the essay “Blaxicans”, by Richard Rodriguez, the author implies that America is not about segregation or about being more superior over the other, but about how all the races should become one. Also, in the essay “Mother Tongue”, by Amy Tan, she explains how most Asian Americans are being discriminated through their qualities.…

    Rodriguez faces a few tensions in his personal experience such as being a "scholarship boy" as oppose to a well rounded student and and his life at home compared to a more friendly home environment. Rodriguez says that "I was a very good student, I was a also a very bad student. I was a scholarship boy, a certain kind of scholarship boy. Always successful, I was always unconfident. Exhilarated by my progress. Sad. I became the prized student - anxious and eager to learn. Too eager, too anxious - an imitative and unoriginal pupil." ( Rodrigues #283 ) Rodriguez describes himself here as imitating his teachers too much and being a perfect student instead of thinking for himself and taking in the knowledge he is given by his teachers and analyzing it and putting it to use. He is unoriginal and and uninteresting compared to a student who can use their knowledge in their own way and gets more involved. The other tension Rodriguez faces his the tension he has with his family, mostly his mother and father. At home his mother and father both support and encourage what he is doing very much but they didn't like the fact that he would always be in his room and the fact that the only thing he was involved with was school. "He permits himself embarrassment at their lack of education." (Rodriguez #286) This quote shows that Rodriguez's amount of knowledge of the english language and other subjects he had compared to his parents and therefore he was somewhat embarrassed by them and it created a tough home environment to live in because he didn't communicate much with his parents. This contrasts the home environment where their is a strong relationship between the family and their is communication.…

    “He was a dreamer who could make the dreams of others come true, a speaker who could make the world listen and a man who held out hope to millions of young people.” In 1976, Jesse was awarded the highest civilian honor in the United States when President Gerald Ford presented him with the Medal of Freedom. President Carter said Jesse was "A young man who possibly didn't even realize the superb nature of his own capabilities went to the Olympics and performed in a way that I don't believe has ever been equaled since...and since this superb achievement, he has continued in his own dedicated but modest way to inspire others to reach for greatness.” Jesse Owens died from complications due to lung cancer on March 31, 1980. His legacy still lives where his three daughters, Gloria, Marlene, and Beverly, and their work with the Jesse Owens Foundation continues to carry on his legacy by providing financial assistance, support, and services to young individuals with untapped potential in order to develop their talents, broaden their horizons, and become better citizens.…

Synonyms include brave man, champion, the man of courage, great man. (Dictionary.com, retrieved from http://www.dictionary.com/browse/hero ). Throughout “The Assassination of Jesse James, by the coward Robert Ford”, Jesse James was perceived by others as this hero figure. However, it is the way in which the filmmaker, Andrew Dominik, has presented Jesse, that leaves the audience questioning whether Jesse really is this hero. Andrew Dominik presented this idea, through the way in which Robert idolised Jessie. He wanted the audience to question whether Jesse really is this hero people perceive him as,…
