I Need to be my Own Hero || Self-Para

WHO→ Tina Cohen-Chang WHERE→New Directions Choir Room WHEN→ Wednesday, November 8, 2017, after school WHAT→ Tina considers what to perform for her weekly glee assignment. WARNINGS→ None

Personality assessments were always kind of a strange sort of thing for Tina.  She often felt like there were perhaps more than one answer that might apply to her.  And depending on the assessment, the answers always seemed a little conflicting.  Even this week, taking the character trope quiz had given Tina the answer of the Damsel (in distress), but taking the 16 personalities quiz had tagged her as The Defender.  Personally, Tina preferred the idea that she didn’t really need anyone to do anything for her, and she knew that after high school she wanted to do something that helped others in a global sort of way.  Thinking about songs she could possibly sing that reflected what she’d learned about herself this week, Tina drew inspiration from previous weeks; especially guilty pleasure week.  One of her guilty pleasures was country music, and the movie Footloose 2011 which had introduced her to a county styled version of the 80s Bonnie Tyler classic, ‘I need a Hero’.  There was some irony because it not only fit with the character trope of her being a Damsel, but as the Defender, she could conceivably, and rightfully so, be her own hero.
