Write about how you’ve made a difference.
Wow, huge open ended question here. I mean at least if you’re me. See, I’m the Slayer. She who hangs out in grave yards a lot. Also she who saves the world on a regular basis. Usually in May, but not limited to that particular month.
Here’s the thing, most people never see just how bad it is. They chalk it up to shadows or late nights or gangs on PCP, which used to be a favorite excuse in Sunnydale. To hear them talk, it was the PCP capitol of the world. And I hope they never see because that means I’m here, doing my job. Just the way I’m supposed to. No one ever thanks me but no one is ever supposed to. That would be planting a big flag and pointing out all the evil of this world then someone’s head would probably explode or something. I need to ask Giles about that actually.
Anyway, so not the point. The point is supposed to be how I’ve made a difference. There’s the world save-age but there are also the little ways. I like to think Xander is a little cooler now and much more likely to get the girls. It’s also my fault his depth perception isn’t what it used to be but he’s forgiven me for that. Besides he swears the women think the eye patch is sexy. Willow is an awesome powerful witch. Giles is much cooler and much less British because of me. He’d be like Quinton Travers if I hadn’t come along. Trust me when I say the world does not need another Quinton Travers. The jury is still out whether we actually even need one.
I’ve also made a lot of girls really powerful. I mean, technically it was Willow that made them, but I made that decision and she followed through. I still haven’t decided whether it was a good difference or not. At the time, it was a difference I had to make. I think sometimes that’s why the world is changed, because someone has to.
