what is power?

Power is the control someone or even things have. Most parents have control over their kids, but their kids sometimes have the power instead of them. Barack Obama, president of the United States, has power of the United States because he's the president, and he has authority. People with a great deal of power influence us the most, because they know a lot of things. For example, my mom knows a lot about me, and she tells me what's right and what's wrong, what to do and what not to do. Therefore, my mom has most of the power in my life. Some things even has the power in peoples lives such as t.v., computer, video games, hobbies, and even school. That means that they are addicted. When kids are addicted to one of those things that means that they probably don't do well in school. Different things have power in everyones lives.
