My SuperWoman is my best friend Jenny.
She has devoted herself to teaching for an alternative school. Rather then have her own children it seems like she has 90! She offers them the type of support and encouragement many have never felt or heard before. These are the children of our society who have been forced to grow up too quickly, who are often beaten down and forgotten about. We are just so lucky to have someone like Jenny in our midst who sees them, sees their potential and will take on the challenge of getting them to see it for themselves.

Most days her only wish is that she could do more for all of the people in her life. My wish is that I could do something for her to celebrate the fact that, as well as being an amazing teacher, she is a fantastic friend and woman.

My sister, hands down. She basically raised herself (my mom was a single mom and a business woman and left my sister to be raised by random family members to concentrate on her career). My sister is 10 years older than me, raised me and made me the woman I am today. She is one of the most hardworking individuals I know.
At the age of 23, she worked her way up as a CSR at a bank and within 6 months became assistant manager. After being in a dead end relationship for 7 years, she broke it off to better herself, met her husband 3 months later and they have been together for 12 years and have 3 beautiful children. She has taught me that everything I do, I have to have love in my heart for it, whether it’s cooking a dinner, finishing a project for work or spending time with friends. I see her demonstrate that everytime she cooks a 8 course meal for her family or plans a party for her husband. She does not half-ass ANYTHING and puts her whole heart into everything she does.
There is nothing sad about my sister’s life. We are strong women and she has taught me nothing less short of being empowered because of it.

My mom inspires me the most. She is always the one that looks out for us, keeps the family together and centered. We weren’t born here. We were poor immigrants and even though my mother didn’t know the language, she struggled to provide for the family.

My mom is my superhero. To start with, if it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t even be here. She has always set high standards and inspired me to be the best that I can be. As a nurse, she spends her work days helping people. When she’s not working, she loves and supports me, my father, my siblings, and anyone blessed enough to run into her. I hope to follow her footsteps in my own way as an elementary school teacher: Inspiring others to be all they can be.

My super great granddaughter is my superwoman (even though I consider her more of a supergirl because she is 4). My little Ellie is so smart and caring. When she knows something is wrong, she runs over and gives me a hug. The things she says are so thoughtful! What a dear.

My superwoman is my girlfriend. She is the sweetest woman I’ve ever known. We care so much about each other. She inspires me to get up and work.

I have met many people in my life that I consider as SuperWomen. However, one particular person comes to my mind and that is my dear friend Megan. Megan is 25 years old and she held a fundraiser for Sechelt Search and Rescue team just last night, as a memorial tribute to her husband she lost just a year ago from a plane crash. Her positive and amazing spirits inspire everyone who knows her. She shines and brightens up the room wherever she goes with her exuberant smiles and positive energy. Although her loss was tragic beyond words and her heart is left broken, she continues to live life to the fullest by being involved in many extra curriculm activities, provides scholarships to the school her husband went, and simply spreading LOVE to everyone who supports her. She is currently going to nursing school with me, and inspires people through her compassionate nursing work as well. She cares about her friends and gives all to her friends. She surrounds herself and others with love. She is truly one inspiring spirit I can call SuperWoman.

Debora Colker is an amazingly talented Brazilian choreographer who recently got the honour to be the first woman to direct a production for the Cirque du Soleil. At 48, Deborah is petite but very, very strong. Since I immigrated from Brazil to Canada last year I have always been looking for an opportunity to make a link between my homeland and the country that welcomed me with open arms. It’s very inspiring to see a woman doing so through art and high professionalism. For two and a half years she has been sharing her time between Rio and Canada, leading over 200 professionals. The first performance of ‘Ovo’ (no title in English so far) will debut in Rio in 2012 and I hope to see it Vancouver not long after that.

My superhero is my friend Sandy. She always puts everyone else before herself. She has had a lot of health problems but is still the most positive person i know. She is the person you can rely on in the middle of the night, if you need to call her or you need a ride or emergency babysitting. I would love to win this and be able to take her.
