If I were a Super Hero

Submitted by PinkPrincess on October 2, 2007 - 22:37.

If I was granted super powers that I never thought were possible then I would be the most powerful and influential person in the world. I would try to use all my special powers for good instead of evil and I would try to save the world of war, poverty, and homelessness. I would try to share my super powers with others in hopes to change the world.

Saint Michael's College mentor: Wow! You definitely sound ambitious! I think you did a good job talking about all the different things you would do if you had superpowers. Maybe you could even expand on these even more: how would you save the world from war, for example?
