I get asked the question “What power would you have if you could have one?” I’m always kind of iffy on what I would really want to have! I think I would choose to make everyone happy, no matter what they were going through.

Everyday I come to school there’s at least one person that could be cheered up, but I don’t know what I could do to make everything better. I know that it’s really not my responsibility to make people happy and do everything I can, especially when it doesn’t have anything to do with me. But, it’s the kind of person that I am. I car for others, and I want them to be as happy as I am. I’m a very empathetic person. I feel the pain that others are feeling, most likely not as intense and exactly how they are feeling, or what they’re going through; however, it makes me feel so sad. Think of all the things I could do if I had this power. I could just simply go and talk with some of the leaders of the world, make them happy, make them understand that we don’t have to hate each other and go to war. We could have world peace. One person could change the world.

I’m afraid that all of this is just a fantasy though. There’s no way that we can have world peace. There’s always going to be one person that needs to have more control, power and money than they already have. We just need to fight and be the better people.
