essay if i had a superpower

“If I were a superhero, my power would be the ability to control time. With my power, I would be able to stop, reverse, slow down and speed up time whenever I pleased. Having control of time would give me control of any situation, whether it involves me or not.” “One of the first ways I would utilize my superpower would be to make my life easier.” “If I had a superpower, it would be to be able to fly and be invisible. I would want to fly because I could leave school and nobody would find me. Also, I could fly with the pretty planes.” “My superpower would be to turn invisible that way I could go through doors and not need a key. Also friends won’t find me when I play hide and seek and I’ll be really good at it.”

No doubt you have your own plans as to how you will use your superpower if gifted one. As a Software Developer, you already have superpowers! No, It isn’t the ability to fly or move objects with your hands, It is the ability to build, design, and create anything you want. It is the ability to CODE!. Superman can fly and move objects, Aquaman controls water, The Flash runs super fast, you can CODE! ooh yes!, coding is a superpower.

Superman can fly, Aquaman can control water, The Flash can run super fast, you can CODE! ooh yes!, coding is a superpower.

The ability to build, design, and create anything you want is truly unique. It’s a magical feeling that is hard to describe. You feel a sense of pride and confidence combined with an insatiable hunger to use your ability. You feel a marvelous sense of accomplishment when you do. Coding combines the left and right sides of the brain because it harnesses your visual/art skills and couples them with your logic/thinking skills. And makes you more like an artist finishing a masterpiece. There is no feeling like it.

How will you use your superpower?

Take a look at Spiderman, Superman, Wonderwoman, Aquaman, Flash, what do they have in common? they helped people, they made efforts to make life easier for those around them. As a Software Developer you have a superpower, how will you use it? create software that has a major impact on those around you and the world in general.

Having Superpowers is one thing, using them is yet another. Superman isn’t a Superhero because he sat and did nothing with his abilities, no! he is a superhero because he used his abilities for good. As a developer learn to create! It doesn’t end with the codes, it begins with making an impact with the codes.

Do not just learn to code, learn to create. It doesn’t end with the codes, it begins with making an impact with the codes.

BE A SUPERHERO!

If I had a superpower I think it would be the power of healing. Not like wolverine he has self healing I’m talking about the ability to heal others, with just a simple touch, Cancer patients, people with AIDS/HIV, addicts and alcoholics, not just physical ailments but mental and neurological as well. Those with Parkinson’s, Down’s, Epilepsy, and anything else that can be diagnosed even things with no name yet I wouldn’t care. This obviously would be misconstrued by religious fanatics as the second coming but it won’t be. I will refute any notion that I am Jesus Christ. For one I will not claim to be the son of god and two for each person I heal I will develop a disease and die a little bit faster each time. You see every superhero has a weakness superman’s is kryptonite; batman’s is robin, batgirl, and Alfred. Green arrow’s is the woman he loves; Green Lantern’s is anything yellow. The fantastic four each has their own weakness the human torch has oxygen or the lack thereof. Mr. Fantastic is rubbery so what happens when you harden rubber it no longer stretches, so liquid nitrogen works best on him. Daredevil has hearing, touch, smell, and taste but these can be used against him, just as my ability would be used against me. All I have to do is heal others and slowly I would be committing suicide. You see the conditions that I heal small portions would be transferred to my body thus I would become a Petri dish of almost every ailment known to man. This ability would be a gift as well as a curse, but a curse worth having because if I can help more people than an entire hospital full of doctors nurses and machinery, then so be it. After awhile I will be the one that needs help I will need to be wheeled from place to place so people can touch me because I would be so immobilized by the conditions that affect me. So my motto would be “You only live once and might as well do what you can to change the world even if it is for only a short time.” This I beleive.

If I Had a Super Power

This month’s guest writer is Kaden Kimple. Kaden submitted the following essay last fall to Power of the Pen, Ohio’s Interscholastic Creative Writing Program for Middle Schools, while her mom was on a mission trip with Back2Back Ministries.

When I think of super powers, I think of strength, speed, flight, brains, and maybe the ability to shoot spider webs from my wrists. Some people would kill for those if super powers were real. I wouldn’t. If I had a super power, I would want it to be saving people in need. My mom has inspired me. She is currently in Haiti at this very moment helping orphans. Hurricane Matthew had hit the area where she is right now. Luckily, there wasn’t that much damage. I want to be just like her and give these kids with no families, hope. My mom made a trip down to Haiti last year and told me about this little guy named Stanley. Stanley would sit in my mom’s lap with his hands full of matchbox cars. After they had left the orphanage, someone that my mother knew told her that Stanley had been very quiet and really didn’t get near anyone. Stanley had been through a lot. His mom died during childbirth and I think his dad died. His uncle took him in, but couldn’t afford to take care of him. Stanley’s uncle took him to his friend’s orphanage and asked if he could take care of Stanley. The orphanage didn’t usually take kids that were under four, but since he was good friends with Stanley’s uncle, he couldn’t turn him down. My mom made an impact on Stanley. One day I plan to meet Stanley. My church may plan a women’s retreat in June, 2017 to Haiti. I would like to accompany my wonderful, inspiring mother there next year.

I want to inspire other kids. I want to give kids like Stanley hope again. I want to shine like a flashlight in the darkness. I’ve never told my mom I want to follow in her footsteps. When she gets home on Sunday night, I’m going to stay awake and tell her when she walks in the door that I want to be like her, like giving the orphans a second chance. I believe that giving inspiration and hope to others is the best super power a person can have.

Share your stories…you never know who you will inspire. I have never viewed myself as being inspirational, her words are a gift as can your words, stories and actions.

Twelve-year old Kaden Kimple believes in the power within our stories. A fan of horseback riding and electric orange, Kaden hopes to follow in her mom’s footsteps by bringing hope to those around her, right where she is. She dreams of being a veterinarian and strives to confidently shine light into the darkness.
