Superheroes In Real Life?
- A Kind Friend

PART 1

Eng.

Elly Cooper is a 23 year old girl from Ukraine. She is always kind to everybody and always puts the others first. That's what makes her special. She is happy as long as everybody else is happy. Her older brother always used to tell her that her kindness was her superpower. She never believed that kindness was a superpower though. It's just a way of life. It's just her way of life.

Elly lives in a small flat in Odessa, where she studies law. She is in her second year of university. Elly is really creative and independent so she really loves singing and drawing, even though she has always wanted to be a lawyer so she could help innocent people.

One day, while Elly was just having her morning coffee in the kitchen of her pretty cheap apartment, the main phone rang. Elly picked up the phone and asked who it was. She heard an awful, very annoying crying. She recognized the voice. It was her close friend, Lia. Lia is not like other people. She doesn’t like talking to people normally. She suffers from social anxiety and this is a problem when it comes to, well, going through life. Lia had just started her first job in an office in the center of Odessa and she was stressed that she had a meeting in a week with her new coworkers. She could barely talk at her interview. Lia was so agitated and the only person she could talk to was Elly.

Elly had tried to calm her down by inviting her over. They had the same conversation they always had: How to talk to people. Elly taught Lia how to talk in a work meeting. She made her friend be a little more confident when talking and saying her opinions. Another problem was the fact that she was the only woman that was going to attend the meeting. Lia was the shyest person Elly had ever met.
After three days of practicing, talking and expressing ideas, Lia was half prepared for the meeting, but when Elly gave her a hug, she felt safe and more confident.
The meeting was a success. Elly was so proud of her friend and happy that she had been able to help her.
