My name is Astraea Loren. I am 8 years old. Everyone where I live gets a special power when they turn 8. My birthday is today which means I get my power! I’m a little nervous that it won’t be a very good power. I walked downstairs to my kitchen for the party.

There were lots of pastel decorations and I saw that the cake was already on the table. The candle on the cake was already lit. I walked up to the table and the candle went out. I then put my hand on the candle and it lit back up. I was happy that my power had not been something completley boring and useless.
