Deon is a senior at Burton High School and runs track. If Deon had a superpower, he would like to attain all the attributes of superman a.k.a Clark Kent the Reporter. The reasons he would like to have superman powers is that he sees them as a chance to get rid of weapons of mass destruction. The type of weapons Deon would like to see destroyed are nuclear bombs, which have put the world in a state of fear ever since World War 2. Nuclear weapons are a problem that he would like to see demolished and dismantled so that people do not have to fear something such as an apocalypse. He would also like to see people happy and at ease throughout the world.

Carshell Green is a seventeen year old who is driven to succeed in every area of her life. Carshell's will to succeed comes from a very personal place in her life. She wasn't taught how to succeed nor did she see success around her as a child. In fact, Carshell is a foster child, and it was only recently in her self discovery that she learned what success is, what it looks like, and how to obtain it. She likes to pour her fears into a road and then walk it. Therefore, Carshell's fears will never hold her back from success.

If Anna had a superpower, it would be time travel (not the butterfly effect).

As president Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "A man without a vote is a man without protection." 16 and 17 year olds have so many civic responsibilities, yet their voices aren't heard. Lorelei is fighting for the expansion of voting rights to 16 and 17 year olds to protect our most basic civil rights.

If Lorelei could have one superpower, it'd be the ability to duplicate myself, so that she can be in several places at once. She wants to do lots of things, but there are only so many hours in a day.  She thinks the best solution to that problem is having several Lorelei's roaming the world!
