Superpowers Paper Prompt

Paper 1 Prompt: Superpowers Among Us (3 ½-4 pages)

Overview:

For this first paper, you’re being asked to reflect upon a superpower unique to you. When I speak of superpowers, I am referring to real people like you and me, not superheroes from comic books, and the personal assets we bring to our shared community. I’m talking about the kind of special quality that is already a part of who we are, which could be honed or learned again. In other words, an asset is something you already do well, which you can share with others and use not only to benefit yourself but other people as well. In this way, you are recognizing the power you have to make a difference in your own or another person’s life, which is what makes your power super or even magical.

Examples of superpowers include the following:

~ speaking up for someone who needs support or for an issue that impacts a lot of people, even if–or especially if–you’re normally too shy to make your voice heard

~ being a seasoned traveler, making friends wherever you go, and also acting as a gracious host to friends when they make the trip to your town

~ being extraordinarily kind to others, including strangers, so that they immediately feel comfortable around you
