What's Your Special Power?
by SELENA THIAN, Standard 6 Terra

I’m sure every living person would love to have extraordinary powers. People often dream of doing something out of the ordinary. That would make us all different from other people.

If I were given a choice, I would choose to have super speed, invisibility and the ability to absorb powers. With all these different abilities, I would be able to help the unfortunate or those in trouble.

Super speed would allow me to help those in an emergency because I would be able to arrive faster than the police, firefighters or even the ambulance. Having such powers would provide me the opportunity to help anyone who is facing a life-threatening situation such as an armed robbery, a fire or even a terrible accident. For example, I would disarm the robbers without them realising. However, I would need to acquire certain techniques and skills to do so. On the other hand, I could save the victims and send them to the hospital as soon as possible for fire or accident cases.

Other than that, having the ability to be invisible would be useful too. I would, of course, have the freedom of doing whatever I want. No one would ever be able to notice my presence and it would be an advantage when I’m nosey. If I were invisible, I could also help those held in captivity.

Lastly, I choose to have the ability to absorb other powers. This ability is my favourite because it is the greatest power of all. It might seem like a selfish thing to do but I am sure it would come in good use. It would be much easier for me to defeat the criminals if I ever come across one.

It would be great if we could own these powers. However, if people misuse them, the world would become a chaotic place. Well, I guess we will never know.
