How Emma Inspired Me to Be………

Well, this may be very long but Emma is the most amazing person I have ever known – and I don’t even know her. The first time I even heard of Harry Potter was when my mom saw a preview for PS. She said, oh this looks like a good kid movie- do you want to see it. And I was like about 7 or 8 years old and I, me and my mom went to see it. Now I don’t remember how I felt or what I liked or anything like that because I am almost 13 now but, all I know is that I loved the whole concept of it all. I went to see the second one in theatres (don’t remember that either). But, when I saw the 3rd Harry Potter movie, I fell in love with Emma’s ambition and willpower. She was so determined to be the best she could and she wouldn’t settle for anything less. When I bought the DVD, I watched the behind the scenes immediately and I saw the cast and crew interviews- Emma stood out as a strong, determined, ”alive”, individual and such a cool teen girl. I watched that movie about 20 times and bought a curling iron, pink sweatshirt, striped belt and wore my hair down more. I scanned the Internet for interviews that I could read, photos to match up to them and I would practice talking like and doing her hand movement like she did. I finally found and downloaded videos of her and I fell in love with her style. I copied it and did everything in my power to stand out like she does. I visited web sites, chatted with others and I got a perm and got a newspaper route so I could get money to copy her style and look. Then, the 4th movie came out and I was literally blown away by her amazing talent. Even more than before, I was literally for hours at a time, looking for interviews, checking out her make up and clothes and hair. I was obsessed. And then you can only imagine how insane I was when the 4th movie came out on DVD! I went straight to the interviews and behind the scenes (after watching the movie) and I loved how relaxed she could be but also how honest and trusting she looked as soon as you see her. I went to her favorites and saw her favorite movies, food, actors, actresses, books, music, brands, sports etc. and I started watching, eating, liking, reading, listening too, wearing, and playing all of her faves and discovered her style and flavor and tried to copy it. I was terrible at it. Basically she taught me how to be myself and stand out as an individual more than just a member of a team or group. And although I might still have an anxiety attack whenever there is a new interview or picture of her, I am more of an individual now than I ever though I would be!
