Winning Entry to SMGFAN Essay Writing Contest: When growing up we all have people we look up to, people we want to be like. When I grew up we didn't have anyone like Buffy or Sarah. I tended to have musical icons when I was in my early teens because I didn't relate to the things that I saw on the TV shows. Carol in Growing Pains, Kelly in Married with Children. I didn't get it. I still dont. When I first sat down to watch 'Welcome to the Hellmouth' it wasn't with the intention to be a fan. I never expected Sarah to have such an impact on me, as I watched more I saw this woman portraying a strong willed high school student not afraid to be herself. Sure she had issues about dating and what to wear but it wasn't the be all and end all of her character. I began to find out more about Sarah Michelle Gellar as the show went on. I was amazed at how she worked her way to where she now is, brought up by a single mother and that she didn't let the negative people around her get her down. She knew what she wanted and she went out and got it. That was something I admired. Growing up I was the kid that was picked on. To know that someone I admired had gone through the same things as me and made it, made me feel stronger inside. I dont care what people think of me now and I now know that if I want something I have to go out and get it. People are going to try and knock you down no matter what you do, it is how you handle it that makes the difference. Being a fan of Sarah's has helped me realise that. I look at what she has achieved and what she has overcome and I see that I can do it as well. By Tash Matthews
