Q . WHO WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD HERO AND WHY ?

» Like many kids of my generation , much of my childhood was spent watching superhero TV shows . What particularly resonated with me was the fact that these characters were able to leverage tremendous super powers to do good and make the world a better place . To say that I aspired to be them is perhaps a slight exaggeration , although

Spiderman was someone that I found particularly easy to relate to due to all of his vulnerabilities , and his character certainly provided me with somewhat of a positive outlook on society from a very early age .
