Superhero names

I am taking three different online classes right now. Two are serious, education related and the other is to help bring more scrapbooking back into my life. That one is called My Freedom by Shimelle. My sister drew me in and it has been an interesting ride so far. We are slowly discovering different pieces of ourselves. Another something that I have been doing a lot of lately... self reflection... but that is a COMPLETELY different post.

Any ways, this week we are looking at our serious and playful sides. Today we were to analyze our serious sides, our work if you will, but in a less serious style. We are super heroes. Anyone that knows me knows that this is not an area that I care to tread in, but I can open up and try to have a little fun.

Our superheros are supposed to have names. I am terrible at these kinds of things. Case in point... one class about 12 years ago I had to have a nickname and I went with Tara-dac-dyl. Another time I was the Mominator. Do I need to go on? I didn't think so. I need help.

So according to my notes I actually have three parts to my serious side, "my work", they are mom, teacher and student. I had to define those roles in my glamorous superhero world and came up with this...

Mom- the fiscal, physical and moral responsibility of guiding the next generation of Whalens.

Teacher- Stratagize the most conniving ways to impress upon young minds useful knowledge (that they will then deny).

Student- Attempt to gather knowledge gamma rays while constantly scanning and analyzing real world learning environments for top secret keys to success.

So, with these three roles in mind, what would you name me?

What would you name you and what are your superhero roles?

Hmm...that's a hard one...what should you call yourself? What about Educate Girl...you use your powerful mind as student and teacher-but use your powers cleverly undercover as a mom-yeah, I'm not so good at this either!
