special powers

When I was little I used to think that my mom was a mermaid because she never went swimming with me

Martina

I used to believe that the red dot on Indian people's foreheads meant that they had psychic powers.

Mark

When I was little I believed that when I put lipstick on my lips, the lips grew.

Alba Águila Castelló

When I was a child, I saw the movie "Matilda"and I started thinking that I might practise and develop my superpowers so I used to try to move things with my look.

Lorena Betancourth

When I was a child I used to believe that I could make things fly using the power of my mind, so everyday for few weeks I used to train myself looking at an object in my room with very concentrated state, hoping I would lift it

Anon

I used to think that if I held in a sneeze, my ears would turn inside out.

Lori

I used to think i had the ability to jump from wall to wall like in the superhero comic books. I broke my leg trying to imitate them

Anon

I used to think i could fly like superman

Anon

I thought the psychic powers were real and we all possessed some degree of it and just didn't know how to control it. I thought you could teach yourself to control it and eventually you could be a master at reading minds and moving things with just your thoughts. I practiced all the time!

when i was a kid I used to believe that my mother always knew what i was thinking about. It was scary but then I thought that if she was able to do it, me too, but i would need to let time pass because I thought that this ability was developed with years of training.

Sebastián Tobón Castrillón (English class)

I used to believe that if I held a blanket or towel across my back like wings I would be able to use them to fly. After it didn't work, I decided I just wasn't doing it right so I practiced flying all the time. It didn't quite go how I thought it would.

I don't think that this is possible but... I believe that I still have this ability until now. I have this weird ability. For example, if I imagine something, it will never happen. I mean like... 2 years ago, when my teacher found out that I was cheating my friend homework, I imagine or think that she will angry at me but, it was different. Instead of yelling at me, she smiled to me and said, "Next time try to do it by yourself, okay?" and I nodded and smiled happily! So, if I have any problems, I will imagine that bad things will happen at me and it will never happen in my lifetime! Lol

Jajay

I thought that I could fly, but I'd forgotten how. You don't want to know how many hours I spent trying to fly.

Clay

Staring intensely into bright lights would increase my ninjitsu. No source was more potent than the Sun, but pretty much anything would go. I passed off the pain as a sign that it was working.
Incidentally, I now wear glasses.

Jason L

I had some vitamin pills that were shaped like Superted. I seriously thought that if I took them for ages, I�d have superpowers and be able to fly.

I was ultimately disappointed, but at least I was well nutrified.

Nin

Me and my friends used to have this secret club. It was called the Ghost Club. We thought we could see ghosts(it was our imagination) and they used to give us missions to save the world and we felt so proud of ourselves. We also thought we had magic powers like transport ion and flying spells. To add on to that, we also thought we were all vampires and we thought we would grow our fangs at the age of 13.(we were 6/7 at the time). We still laugh about that club all the time!

Ghostbuster Girl

I used to believe that we could develop powers but we got to find them. I used to be with a classmate trying to improve our "powers" thinking about moving a paper off the desk and then we tried to control the birds while we were imagining they would obey. I was pretty influenced by my classmate I think

Jeisson Mosquera Williams

When I was a kid I used to believe that I had a super power: I could see through objects, as long as they were close enough to my face. I didn't tell anyone about that because I was afraid they would treat me like an "mutant", like on X-Men comic books, and send me to a concentration camp. A few years later, I figured it out.

Diogo

I used to believe that I could fly! I would run as fast as I could then jump. I had a dream about it once. I was running then I leapt into the air. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't.
