I am Spiderman. Well, kind of. I am also Jack. But most of all, I am Emily. Allow me to explain: obviously I don't go around flying off of buildings, or climbing beanstalks--I am not a superhero. It may come as a surprise to some, but I am not Spiderman in disguise, nor am I a young boy. Instead, I am a high school student--one with ambitious goals and a will to complete them. I have strengths that make me helpful in and out of the classroom, and I work well in a group setting. Two strengths/roles in particular come to mind: the elaborator, and the coordinator. I take the ideas that were brainstormed by the entire group, and I expand upon them, allowing these ideas to be put to use in the actual task at hand. Second, I am the coordinator. There is always some way to connect the mess of ideas and opinions and thoughts thrown out by various group members, and I can see that. I can take many categories and combine it into one concise message.
Some of you may be wondering how an elaborator/coordinator named Emily is anything like Spiderman. Hopefully if you know nothing about Spiderman you at least know that he is the man who got his name by flying from building to building using a kind of 'spider-webby' substance. How? I can't answer that. But I am like Spiderman, I can take a spiderweb of different ideas and combine them into a stunning end product in the same way Spiderman himself flies from building to building (using spiderweb) in order to reach his final destination. Now Jack and the bean stock is a little bit of a stretch. In the story, Jack finds a bean and plants it and it eventually grows into a giant beanstalk. In the same way, I elaborate on ideas to create (grow) a new, even bigger idea. Now, I don't have to face a giant, but you get the idea. I may be only a senior girl in High School, but I guess there's a Spiderman side to everyone.
