Superman. Wonderwoman. Spiderman. Catwoman. Superheroes.

Superhero is the term used to describe a person who usually has extraordinary powers, also known as superpowers, and extraordinary enemies who are ever ready to pursue world domination at all costs.

These superheroes typically wear either a cape, a mask, a brief worn over tights, a belt around the brief, or a combination of those. Moreover, they usually hide their real names and their identity.

Superman. Wonderwoman. Spiderman. Catwoman.

Personally, I do not like my superhero in a cape because I think there’s no point for having one—aside, of course, from the fact that it looks goods as the hero flies. Weird costumes also do not appeal to my taste. I mean, do superheroes really have to match their superpowers with a horrible fashion sense? I don’t think so.

One superhero rose above the rest and caught my attention. Given the opportunity, I would want to be her, even for just a day.

Ever since I have entered Pisay, I barely had the time to watch television programs. Consequently, I am not familiar with cartoon shows. However, as I was scanning through the channels of the cable network, I decided to settle with the Disney channel.

VILLAIN: "It’s impossible!"

HEROINE: "No, it’s Kim Possible."

Kim Possible…sounds interesting, I thought.

Who is Kim Possible, anyway?

Kim Possible is just a normal kid with very amazing defense skills. She does not have superpowers, as most superheroes do. So what qualifies her to become a superhero? Her skills and unfaltering courage, which help her face her supervillain enemies.

Kim Possible’s shuffling quite a business, too. She is an active student, a cheerleader, a daughter, a sister, an ever-dependable friend, and an awesome evil-stopper. Mind you, she dresses normally even if she is out for a mission, and she is not living a double life. I must say it runs in the blood.

Lately, I have thought that she would also pass for a role model. And if there is one thing that impressed me the most about her, it is how she showed that age isn’t a hindrance for anyone to start and make a change. After all, I realize that it really only takes a day to be this supergirl. I do not have to learn martial arts and other arts of defense, for, I believe, in my own way, making a change is possible.
