Tuesday - Interviews

Two weekends ago, we took our son to Alma College for a scholarship interview. One of the questions the professors asked him was, "If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?" So, that's today's topic.

(BTW - he choose mind reading - I don't know why.)

84 comments:

  1. If i could have one super power i would want to have the ability to write stories wherein people could actually exdperience the things the characters do--actually becoming the character in a sort of virtual way. That, I think, would be a wonderful power.

    The power of healing--to cure all sicknesses and diseases would be most wonderful, actually, but then scientists and doctors will want to disect me in order to use me for their own ends.

  8. I would like a power similar to mystique's -
    to be able to morph to change my appearance. Unlike her though, I'd want to change into what I imagine (and my body mass allows), not whoever I see.

  15. I would want to be able to read minds. I think it would be cool to see what people are really thinking.

  16. @Obada- I doubt they would disect you, but more like use you probably through bribe or threat.

    I would'nt want a super power. Too much responsibility and the feeling of letting someone down if you couldn't do anything. Being plain human should be good enough for me and really all of you. I'm content in the world we live and if it were any different then we wouldn't be very Human would we?

  31. There's pros and cons for every 'superpower.' Honestly, I couldn't chose a single one because of that fact. Perhaps Telekinesis. I don't know.

  38. If i could have one supper power it would be to fly because i could fly across the counrty and explore what each countries' culture is all about. in that case i don't have to get on a airplane and pay money which with this power i could save a lot of money and just explore for free.

  39. i would like to be a super genius because knowledge gets u through almost anything

  40. I think I would want the superpower of mind reading because I always like to know information but sometimes people dont tell me the truth and I want to know.

    ReplyDelete
  41. if i could have a super power it would be super speed then i will have a longer day

    ReplyDelete
  42. If we lived in a world where everyone had a unique superpower, mine would be the ability to fly. Morgan's comment really jogged my memory. Flying, like Peter Pan, would be such a satisfying feeling.

    I was going to say ghost powers i.e. flying, invisibility, and the ability to go through walls, but I figured that was a cheap answer. And whoever gave out superpowers would never let me have that.

  43. If I could have a super power, itd be...crap theres too many id want lol.
    So probably,
    mind reading,

    morphing, or
    being able to control the elements.
    I am BIG fan of the X-men, especially of Rogue, shes great!!XD

  44. I think I would want to read minds too:-) Because I would like to know what people think of me like on first impressions,or like when I am trying to be professional and I'm messing up I would like to know quick what i'm messing up on so I can fix it as soon as I know. Therefore I can make the change and things will run smoothly henceforth.

  45. If I could have any super power I would want to be able to become invisible whenever I felt a need to. There are so many times when i find myself saying i wish I could be invisible because of the situation I am in, and if it could really happen that would be amazing.

    I dont know exactly why but i would like to have invisability! that would be awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  65. The thing that bothers me the most is not knowing what people are thinking. Like, I'm the kind of person who reads peoples actions and emotions, and thinks about what they say. I usually determine what they mean by my own interpretation. But it bugs the heck out of me when I can't figure soemone out. So, with all this said, I would want the power to read minds. Only when I choose though.

To have the abiliity to slow down time and thereby have the power to do everything in a day that I wanted, or to spend as much time in a day with those I wanted. There always seems to be so much I want to do and never enough time to do it.
