This photograph is of my younger brother Spencer Jones and
I. This was taken at my father’s family reunion this past summer in Columbus
Ohio. The photographer definitely captured more than my brother and I but our
personalities too. At eleven, my brother favors me in many ways. His eyes are
hazel like our grandmother’s, his nose like our mother’s, and his mouth, are
similar to mine. We are also the same skin tone. The only physical difference
is that he is boy and seven years younger than me. From this photograph you can
see that I am definitely the girly-girl, feminine, athletic, and wise. My
brother shows off his humorous nature, his adolescence, and also his wit. Our
distance from each other shows that we are the true definition of siblings. We
have are disagreements but we are the literal genetic make-up of both our
parents Joyce and Christian. We stand out the most because we crave to be the
center of attention through out the day.. This picture also shows the stage of
growth we are in. I am leaving my teenage years and slowly entering my
adulthood, while my brother is entering his junior high years. My brother and I
have a bond that no other person could dare to understand. Being in Iowa this
long has made me truly miss him.

This is a photograph from my senior year scrapbook. This is
a picture of my late best friend Ta’keisha Jackson and I on the night of my
Senior Year Grammy Mock Elections. I was accompanied that night by an angel.
This photograph is one of the last pictures I have of her and I. Ta’keisha
passed away in a house fire this past April exactly ten days from her birthday
on April 12th. Every time I lay my eyes on this picture I fight back
tears because I know I will never share another moment like this with her.
Ta’keisha was truly a special person. Her death made her a hero. She died from
the injuries she received while attempting
to save her younger sister in the house fire. I still remember the last
time I spoke to her in person, which was during Christmas Break last year. She
passed away while I was still in Iowa so I had no way of attending the funeral.
This summer however I did spend quite a bit of tie in the cemetery paying my
respects. Although Ta’keisha is no longer on Earth with me, I can still feel
her presence every time the sun shines during the day.

This is a picture of the AIB Women’s Basketball team from
last year. In this photograph you have Bailey Boswell, Alyssa Muntz, Arriel
Hunter, Hannah Redinus, Katira Young, and myself. We were preparing to play in
a basketball game in are home gym in the Activity Center. As you can see we
were listening to the “Star Spangled Banner” being played through the speakers.
Everyone was preparing for it to be a good game. I remember that this was a
game that we did win. During this season we had a different coach, Coach Keith
Coleman. He was a marine major. So everything that we did in basketball
resembled that of the military. We were standing proudly with one hand over our
chests and the other behind our backs. This was a clear sign of respect for our
nation’s flag and also because it was mandatory according to our coach. We were
wearing our home jersey’s which were white with our previous eagles logo with
matching warm-ups. The clock in the background symbolized how much time we have
on the clock before half-time to start out on a winning streak. The spectators
also in the background symbolized belief that we would do well in the game.
Unfortunately one of our team mates, (KAtira young) is not dressed. She could
not participate in this game for personal reasons.

This is a picture of the pop singer Rihanna performing at
the 2010 Kids Choice Awards. Rihanna is one of my favorite artists. She is also
my idol. Many people say I look like her. However we do share different
features. In this photograph you can see her choice in a performance prop was
that of a robot. Rihanna likes to be animated when she performs. So to
entertain children she chose an appropriate item to have on stage. She was
performing her smash hit songs, “ Hard”, “Rudeboy”, and “Don’t stop the music”.
Rihanna has a great way of capturing her audience’s attention, in this case
children. Although some of her previous stage presences were not fitting for
children, you can see by the too-too styled skirt-dress that she was doing her
best to appeal to a younger crowd but
not seem so childish. According to source the audience seemed extremely
entertain by her performace.

This is a photograph of the RNB diva, Beyonce. In this picture
she is in the middle of recording her video for her smash hit song, “Crazy In
Love”. This video became so popular that it was named, Song of the decade, in
2009. Beyonce, is more than a singer. She is an entertainer, entrepreneur,
mother, idol, dancer, performer, actress, fashion designer, and down-to-earth
southern girl. She is married to one of the richest men on the planet, Jay-Z.
Together they are an unstoppable, dynamic duo. It just so happens that he
performed along side of her in this video, and several others. Beyonce is a
very charming and talented women. Women across the globe admire her style,
originality, ambition, and drive to encourage women that it is okay to embrace
your natural beauty and embrace your bodily curves. With her hip shaking, feet
tapping songs, everyone can enjoy her music. She incorporates several different
styles of music in her own. In the studio she is known as just Beyonce or Bey,
But when she takes center stage during award shows, or even at her own concerts
she is phenominal and her fans crave for more. Although this woman began in a
small girls group she has evolved in to an unstoppable entertaining sensation.
Now she is more commonly known to the world as the one and only, Queen Bey.
Other female artists are constantly getting compared to her, because they have
been given the task to exceed her success. But with Beyonce still taking center
stage, this task may be impossible.
