So like most college students i am broke beyond belief. Since i habitually suffer from this i random surf the internet for new and exciting scholarships! yeah, i know i am lame. Anyhow i found this scholarship, where the essay question is if you had a superpower what would it be and how would this help you. The essay has got to be less than 250 words, and this essay is the only real question they ask. GPA, clubs, saving kitties, and other usual things people care about are not considered for this scholarship. in other words it was actually fun to apply too.
here is the link if you want to apply too!

the below is my response albeit the unedited version. The truth is though its a lie, i rather have the ability to fall asleep on a textbook and wake up and inherently understand the knowledge it contained. However i felt that would you know would make me look lazy. which is true but the image you want to send to people with money.
I would want my skin to impervious to damage. As a chemistry major and a klutz, I feel this is an evolutionary must.
I can not remember the number of times I have tripped over my own feet and scraped my elbow. Or how many times I got a little silver iodide on my hand staining it brown for a week. With such a great gift of impervious skin, this bruise free me would be just the beginning.
I could become more heavily involved with the research we do on campus. Especially the really dangerous parts, with unstable chemicals. while not having to worry about losing any of my flesh. I would also be able to walk down a flight of stairs and after eventually tripping over my feet I would not have broken a bone.
unfortunately, impervious skin would have a couple drawbacks. I could never get another shot from the doctor... actually that sounds like a plus. Despite being left vulnerable to the flu without a vaccine, it still sounds like a positive. Then again if my skin was impervious i couldn't give blood anymore. This would be a shame, but the no shot thing is making me extremely happy right now.
The one superpower I would want would be impervious skin, and it would help me in my future career paths. enabling my penchant to explore the scientific road despite its many dangers.
