I've waited so long for the chance to say hi to you, introduce myself, befriend you.
And here you are standing right in front me, SMILING - and all I could manage was, "You own a striped green and white shirt, right?"

SUPER AUDREY
I was asked to write about this particular scenario with a minimum of 300 words. And while I did it for compliance purposes, I can't help but feel like I wish this was true. That I wish what I'd written about can happen, or will happen.
I'm not surprised by my imagination, a little bit impressed I managed to write this in less than 2 hours yes, and I'd like to share this online. Hoping some influential soul can read, resonate with me, and be inspired.
Question
Imagine that you have been admitted into an elite university based in Manila designed to train heroes and next generation leaders, educated to face the "Grand Challenges" facing humanity. You are expected to use your privileged education and special talents to help humanity and the planet. You are granted a "Super Power" of your choice when you are admitted into this university. Examples of Super Powers are listed below. What Super Power would you choose? What Grand Challenge would you work on? Describe in detail what your Super Power allows you to do and how it will be useful in facing the Grand Challenge.
What Super Power would you choose?
Power Stealing
What Grand Challenge would you work on?
War.
There have been many many great minds in history that have changed the world but none of them was able to cure war permanently. Our need to kill fellow human beings just to satisfy a need, gaining nothing in return.
I’m always baffled how we can’t see that this so-called solution has always failed to work. Therefore, why do we keep on doing it? Why do we continue to use it as a tactic?
I would very much prefer the indifference between nations rather trying to pathetically help one another and end up in so much miscommunication.
I choose Power Stealing as my super power of choice for ending war because I believe one super power alone won’t suffice. I would like to be able to perhaps “borrow” others’ capabilities as I go about and try to stop this Grand Challenge.
I would use the Communicate with Cities super power and maybe I can convince nations to forgive each other. And not to try to take advantage of the abundance of another. And for this also, I would need the super power Extreme Luck.
As I believe the root cause of war is more of injustice as much as it is miscommunication, I would need to be able to heal others first before I can convince them to move on. Control weather so that what grows in one country can also grow in another, thus, ending messy negotiations and resource envy. And of course with all of this, I’ll be the busiest person in the planet perhaps so I would gladly use the super power of Teleportation, maybe even Self-Multiplication because while I can very much use Telepathy, there’s nothing like the power of your presence and moral support. I would also like to speak with the dead, I believe those who passed away have definitely more things they can teach me than any living person could.
