"I want to tell you that what you said really hit home for me. I am an awesome person and I can do so many things. I learned that everyone is good at something even if it is something small. After hearing you I look at people in a different way. Everyone is a superhero but they just don't know it. I didn't know I was a superhero until you showed me. I don't have to be albe to fly and I don't have to be able to blow things up with my X-ray vision to become a superhero. There are many things I can do that other people can't and that is what makes me such an awsome superhero. Thanks for everything."

I'm a freakin' Superhero!
