03 - Rizal's Family, Childhood, and Early Education | Life and Works of Rizal

There are two common misconceptions about Young Rizal: firstly, that he was an exceptional child who could do everything, and secondly, that he was born that way. However, upon closer study, we realize that both of these assumptions are untrue, and many of the stories that portray him as a prodigy at a very young age are fabricated.

In this video, we will take a closer look on Rizal's childhood and present him as a normal child rather than a superhero. We will also explore the people and events that shaped him into the person he became during his formative years.
