supergirl's secret identiy revealed. she lives in vienna

A petite 19-year-old Virginia woman who lifted a large burning truck off her father said Sunday that she just snapped into “super mode” to save his life.

Charlotte Heffelmire turned into a real-life 5-foot-6, 120-pound superhero when she rushed to her father’s aid Nov. 28. Eric Heffelmire was working on a pickup in the garage when a jack slipped, pinning him under the vehicle. The mishap also caused a gasoline spill which set the truck and the garage on fire.

“I guess he was in the garage for about 10 minutes before I really just stumbled on him,” Charlotte told "Fox & Friends." “I couldn’t hear anything. (I) kind of came into the garage and the garage was already on fire and really from there I kind of snapped into that whatever super mode I had at that point and kind of do what I had to do.”

The citation for a Citizen Life Saving Award she received Thursday from the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department says she was able to lift the truck twice to get her father free.

It also says she climbed into the burning truck and drove it out of the garage on three wheels, then closed the garage doors to help contain the fire and then went into the house and got everybody out, including her sister’s baby.

And while waiting for the fire department to arrive, she tried to keep the fire from spreading to the rest of their Vienna home with a garden hose.

Her father told Fox & Friends that while he was pinned underneath the truck he was thinking that he was a goner.

“It’s still pretty fuzzy for me,” he said. “The one thing I do remember is that first time that she tried to move the car I felt the weight shift a bit.”

He said there was a lot of smoke.

“The next thing I remember was when I was kind of regaining my bearings outside after she had gotten me out of the garage.”

Charlotte was a pole-vaulter in high school and has been appointed to the U.S. Air Force Academy.

She told "Fox & Friends" she doesn’t think she deserved the life-saving award.

“They almost made me believe that I deserved it, but I still don’t think that I do,” she said.

Her father was quick to disagree.

"I think she does and much more,” he said.

Just your average Korean-American girl living in a 6,600 sqft mansion out Beulah near the Toll Road. Nothing to get excited about.

Now she has appeared on Ellen, where she got a laundry basket full of Seattle Seahawks swag (because after rescuing her family, she ran back in to save her Russell Wilson Fathead wall sticker) and a check for $10000. http://www.ellentv.com/2016/01/20/shutterfly-gives-10k-to-a-hero/

You find crazy things if you google this girl. Take a look at the citation for her 2015 Congressional gold medal: http://congressionalaward.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/2015GoldProgramBook.pdf

"In fulfilling my Voluntary Public Service obligation, I founded a charity called Winds of Change to help underprivileged children worldwide. This charity has raised over $104,200 to date. I also perform as “Daisy D. Clown” for orphans, attempting to bring some joy into their troubled and challenging lives. For Personal Development, I completed FAA Aviation Ground School, became fluent in two languages, earned advanced SCUBA certifications, and continued my classical training as a violinist. Additionally, I completed Junior ROTC training and during one summer completed leadership training at all three US Military Academies – Army (West Point), Navy (Annapolis), and the Air Force Academy. For Physical Fitness, I taught myself how to pole vault, where I broke my high school record, earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and became a junior Olympic medalist in both sports. I also wrote and teach a rape prevention/self defense class for teenagers, based upon my martial arts training, which I call “Pred-X” (Predator X). For my Expedition, I organized, led, and/or participated in trips to all seven continents, including a true expedition to Antarctica where I journeyed well below the Antarctic Circle. My experience with the Congressional Gold Award directly led me, at age 16, to a full-time position working for the premiere U.S. intelligence agency."

How does anyone get a full time position at "the premiere U.S. intelligence agency" at age 16? And then coincidentally this same person has to lift a truck off her father and save her family from fire? Really?

"Lawnmower Parents" - If you knew this kids - and I do very well through her govt duties - you would know she is mortified by the attention she gets and runs from it at every turn. Look down - your small (and jealous) little pee pee is showing (better move you hand from it first or you will miss it completely)

John - I read what you sent Jim and I. Why would Charlotte need a "publicist" when this nit-wit "Lawnmower Parent" takes their worthless time to post so many of her accomplishments on-line? Can you imagine the deep issues this jack-ass is living with?
