If I could choose to possess any superpower imaginable, I would adopt the ability to manipulate time, as it would allow me to amend both my own mistakes and those of society in general, as well as create humorous situations. As far as benefiting myself, this ability would greatly aid in excelling in school and earning a hefty livelihood in the future. For example, if needed, I could preview provincial exams once and then, utilizing my power, return to the past to contemplate the answers. Even when doing an activity as simple as playing bingo in Spanish class, I could peer into the future and "somehow" consistently emerge victorious. Furthermore, after later progressing into adulthood, I could take advantage of my superhuman abilities in order to gain wealth through the stock market. In the event that I make a poor decision in this field, I could simply re-visit the past and, instead, make more advantageous moves. Technically, I would be blessed with the ability to manipulate the stock market without the fear of being accused of fraud. On a more generous note, I could also use my powers to correct society's mistakes and failures and thereby create a better future for humanity in general. Catastrophic events such as the Rwandan genocide and Hurricane Katrina could be avoided by presenting world leaders at the time with evidence of the future results. Occurrences such as the assassinations of presidents or social activists, including Kennedy and Martin Luther King, could also be prevented by merely moving these individuals a few feet to the left. Finally, I could also employ this power to add much needed humour to everyone's lives. As individuals on national television would attempt to lower themselves into their seats, I could pause time and shift their chairs to the right, causing them to clumsily fall. Imagine the prospect of someone attempting to connect with a "high five", only to find that they mysteriously miss by a few inches and smack the recipient's face. Ultimately, the power to control time itself would be advantageous both because of its ability to generate humour and amend past mistakes.
