In fact, since college started I have realized that I'm not all that brilliant of a student. I am suddenly aware of how little I know, and how much smarter everyone around me is. I make up for it by working hard and kissing major butt. I'm pretty sure I got away with a lot in my younger, more careless days because I was recognized as a "teacher, trapped in a students' body".
All self-glorification aside, my latest assignment in American History was a "what if" paper. In short, it was imaginitive history.
What if...
World War II never happened?
the South won the civil war?
women never entered the work force?
religion never existed?
Pick any question, any scenario you choose, as long as it relates to history. Definitely a weird assignment. I felt like it was more of a sociology paper - stepping on too many butterflies changes the world, (or if you'd like to take a Heroes perspective: the time and space continuum can't handle it).
So what about you? Hypothetically take one thing, event, person, out of this world and see if it doesn't change the whole dynamic of who we are. and please share, of course. (I'm asking, of course, just to feed the inner teacher in me, which does not lay as dormant as I have formerly led you to believe. But don't worry, you're my favorite student. and I promise I don't tell all my students that...)

I don't know what I would do without Harry Potter.
Without Harry Potter, you probably would not have that username.
