In the Radical Leap, by
Steve Farber, he says, "we follow human beings, we don't follow idealized
icons of unattainable perfection." Clark Kent is idolized by the
author because he has super powers, but he's also vulnerable. Think of yourself as a Superhero. Come
up with a name, persona, strengths/powers, and your "kryptonite" that
makes you vulnerable.
My superhero name is Hawk Eye. I am very observational. I am always on my toes looking and listening to the things around me. I am ready to jump on anything when the time comes. This is where my super powers come in handy. Of course my first power is observation, whether it be paying close attention to upcoming due dates, my residents or my fellow employees I always have and eye open. I have a great sense of time management and organization skills. These powers keep me in line so I don’t have to get flustered. A flustered superhero is a superhero no good. I am very positive and caring; giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. Before approaching a tricky situation that I have observed I use these powers to set a peaceful environment.
Yet, even with all of these wonderful
superpowers I have, there is one Kryptonite that gets me every time. Spontaneity
or flowing with the punches has always been hard for me especially since one of
my favorite powers is organization. When things are thrown at me that was
unplanned or things don’t go as planned I have a hard time recovering. When I
am the head superhero of a mission you are sure to find an organized operation
headed straight for the target, but when I have to work as the sidekick of the
mission I won’t always be as comfortable. I work every day as a sidekick to my
FIR and am determined to knock off this Kryptonite that gets me all tangled up.

Brittney, Indeed, you do have great powers of observation. I laughed at your Kryptonite. You continue to hang in there. The more you practice something, the more comfortable you can become. I think that Stan has been great for you. He is a caring, patient educator who challenges you with his style. I think that this is a great thing for you! Keep it up!
