A Servant Becomes A Hero

Do you know who is your everyday’s heroes? Some people don’t realize who are their everyday’s heroes. They more remember heroes who helped them in big things and in one event than heroes who helped them everyday. Help is usually given by everyday’s heroes are considered as a routine activity that it should be done. I think almost everyone have everyday’s hero in their life, so do I. usually, if I talk about everyday’s hero, I always answer that is my parents. Yes, of course they are my heroes, but I have realized that I have one another everyday’s hero. Can you guess who is she?

                She is my servant. Her name is Erus. She is 47 years old. She had been working for 8 years in my house. She becomes a servant since she was at second grade in elementary school. That is her last educational. So, she had been being a servant for 40 years. That has been so long. She does not have a chance to change her job because being a servant is only her expertise. She has 3 daughters and 1 son. Two of them had been working, and they do not live with her. She lives with her 3^rd daughter,1^st daughter, and her granddaughter. Her husband work in other city as a hawker and comes home once a month. She must work because her husband’s income is not enough to fund her family. Work as a servant is not easy. She said that sometimes she feel tired and bored to do the same activities everyday, and it is difficult to be successful if I just became a servant, but she is happy if her boss satisfied with her work and she can help them.

                I know my servant since 8 years ago, but I never realize that she is my everyday’s hero too other that my parents. I need her every day. Without him, I would be busy. Nobody wash my clothes, ironing, cleaning my house, etc. I can’t do all the things myself. I need her to help me. I amazed with her struggle to become a servant for many years to support her family.

I can learn 3 lessons from her life. First, spirit is not pegged at age. She is not young more, but she still has a spirit of youth. Second,  age does not limit a person to keep fighting. Third, hope will make someone keep trying. I know she has a hope that her children have chances to choose their future. She is my everyday’s hero eventhough, she is not feel that. She is just laughing when I say that. I hope she can be my everyday’s hero continuously.
