Super Hero

C has a summer job at summer day camp for kids and adults with mental and physical handicaps, providing activities for them during the time when not in school. She has been doing this for 4 years as a paid member of the staff and for 8 years in total. She enjoys the campers and the staff, so will probably continue doing this for several more years as it is 7 weeks for 35 hours per week, 9-3. She is liked and appreciated by the campers and staff because she shows up on time, anticipates needs, works hard and has a great attitude.

Friday was costume dress up day for the staff and C went as Superwoman. She had the red cape, blue body suit, etc and she looked great. The staff and campers always have a great time with these types of things as it provides some break from the routine.

One of the younger campers was really fascinated with C's superwoman costume and the following exchange occurred:

Youth (Y): Are you really able to fly?
C: Not yet, but I am working on it.
Y: Do you have any other super powers?
C: Like you, I am in school learning how to use them properly. I am in Super Hero school during the year when you are at school too.
Y; Really, what are they teaching you.
C Well the next lesson is on my X-ray vision, but, it will be a while before I get than one perfected. Remember, I am a Super Hero in training.

With that last exchange, the other counselor with C burst out laughing. That caused C to get slightly embarrassed, but also laughed really hard as well.

Unfortunately it also rained Friday so pictures could not be made, but C looked cute in her Superwoman costume. That is my Super Hero in Training.
