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.
If I were a superhero my name would be Aegis.
The definition of my name is: the protection, backing, or support of a
particular person. My persona would fit this definition quite snuggly. I would
be the defender of the human race, whether it is physical attacks or threats. I
would be kind to everyone that I assisted or even those that wanted to just
meet me. I would be as humble as ever because I don’t have the capacity to boast
about my achievements whether actual or theoretical.
My powers would be fairly simple, I
would have super strength to fight off all of the bad guys and I would also
have the ability to make shields to prevent the harming of innocent people. I
would not be able to shield myself which is my kryptonite. I can protect the
entire world from harm with the exception of myself. In order to make up for
this deficiency in powers I surround myself with a team of super heroes. This
team of super heroes is where I find my true strength because in everywhere I
am not they can be. Together, as one, nothing can stop us!

That is awesome. ¡Me gusta mucho!
ReplyDeleteSam, how telling...I do think that you are thinking of others A LOT and sometimes struggle to think of yourself and what's best for you. I know that you have experienced some challenges. Seek out the company of the other PA's and lean on them : - )
