Blog #5: Response to my Personal Essay

The personal essay I wrote was about growing up between the ages of 9 and 15 and watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with my parents. In the beginning of my mom and stepdad's relationship, we began watching Buffy and it really brought us closer together. It also helped comfort me in times when I was upset, and was with me during my entire youth. I almost feel like I had a second family in the characters, that I grew up with them, mainly because the age that I watched the show was so young and such a developmental stage. I think I could've been happier in the way the essay turned out. I like the ideas that I had, and most of the things I said were exactly what I wanted to say, but I wish I had expressed my ideas differently. I'm just not sure how I could have done that better.
