A Superhero’s Story

By: ALMA LACOSTALES CALIBO, E dD Teacher III Lanao del Norte National Comprehensive High School

Once upon a time, there was a Wonder Mom named Maya. Maya was unlike any other mom on the block, and her children knew it too. She could do things that no other mom could, and she always seemed to have an answer for everything.

One day, her children decided to put her to the test. They wanted to see if she truly was the Wonder Mom they believed her to be. They went to her and said, “Mom, we want to take a trip to the moon. Can you make it happen?”

Maya smiled and said, “Of course, my loves. I’ll make some calls and get us on the next shuttle to the moon.” And just like that, Maya made the impossible happen. She found a way to get her family to the moon and back safely.

But Maya didn’t stop there. She continued to amaze her children with her skills and knowledge. When they needed help with their homework, Maya was there with the answers. When they needed a shoulder to cry on, Maya was there with a warm embrace. And when they needed someone to believe in them, Maya was their biggest cheerleader.

As her children grew up, they never forgot the amazing things their Wonder Mom had done for them. They knew that they could always count on her, no matter what. And so, on Mother’s Day, they decided to surprise her with a special gift.

They took her to a planetarium and showed her a video they had made, showcasing all the wonderful things she had done for them over the years. They thanked her for being their Wonder Mom and for always being there for them.

Maya was touched by the video and the love her children had shown her. She hugged them tightly and said, “You are my greatest joy in life, and I am so proud to be your mother. Thank you for being my children.”

And so, Maya continued to be the Wonder Mom her children knew and loved. She may not have had superpowers or a cape, but in her children’s eyes, she was a true superhero.
