Our interns were tasked with drawing Focus the autistic super hero, selecting a hero of their choice and their work environment.
Jade Chen, our autistic intern chose to honor her father Chuck Chen who works in Law Enforcement. Her father is her hero. Check out her internship story:
Check out local hero Chuck Chen, law enforcement hero’s story:
In the interview, Chuck stated:
“I was taken back that I’m her (my daughter’s) hero. It means so much to me. Working in law enforcement can sometimes be a thankless job. But it is good to know that those who love me the most, closest to you really appreciate the work that you do. It humbles me, it makes me proud. It warms my heart that my daughter thinks highly of me and the work that I do each day. I want to promote the work that my daughter has done with Focus Comics in partnership with Real American Heroes Coffee. Try and support this the best you can. It’s a great opportunity here. It shows the great work all the Focus Comic interns do.” [Quote: Law Enforcement Hero Chuck Chen]
Our special needs intern Ezekiel Cook LOVES fire fighters, and so he was given the opportunity to honor Captain Henry of Rural Metro Fire as his local hero. Check out his story:
