Well, I survived my first year of college… but I have decided that I would rather not go into Communications and Marketing because.. well because the jobs suck. I’m going into a nursing program, which I am super excited about! I really think I’m going to like it!

Feel-Good Story of the Day: With the help of Spider-Man, Edgar Hansen and Jake Anderson of the Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, local politicians and police officers, and hundreds of volunteers, the Pacific Northwest chapter of the Make-A-Wish foundation was able to transform 13-year-old liver cancer patient Erik Martin into a full-fledged superhero for a day.
From the Seattle Times:
Pulling off a wish like this one required a big story, and a lot of heart. And so, with a note of panic in his voice, Spider-Man explained the dilemma: “Dr. Dark” [Edgar Hansen] and “Blackout Boy” [Jake Anderson] had imprisoned the Seattle Sounders in a locker room at Qwest Field. Only Electron Boy could free them. […]
Watching her son run across the plaza in front of the Space Needle, mom Judy Martin said Erik goes to school when he’s able, but is often too tired. “He hasn’t had this much energy in a long time,” she said. “They called it the power of the wish, and they’re right.”
Like any good superhero, Electron Boy kept his innermost thoughts to himself. But he did have one important thing to say:
“This is the best day of my life.”
