It’s hard to sum up my life in only 8 images. When I think about who I am, the first thing that comes to mind is that I’m a Christian. Two and a half years ago I made the best decision of my life by becoming a disciple, or follower of Christ. Everyday I strive to live a righteous life like Jesus did, and to have the love that he possessed within him. To me, Christianity isnt just a religion, it’s a LIFESTYLE. My first image says “LIVE IT: Taking the bible out of the box” and i firmly believe in having a personal, inimate relationship with God.  Music is BIG part of my life. The only thing I’ve been doing since I was born other than breathing was listening to music. My second image is a picture of a piece of paper that says Music = Life. From the time I was little, I was exposing myself to different kinds of music, artists, and genres. My friends don’t call me ‘The Jukebox’ for no reason!! The place I feel most comfortable is onstage, behind a microphone, singing my heart out. If you cant tell already, I LOVE to sing. I’ve been singing since I was five years old. I consider it my art, so I make sure I practice it all the time. Its something I’m utterly determined to develop even more than I already have. My third slide includes two pictures, one of me singing, and a vintage microphone, to show my love for the music of yesteryear, as well as new contemporary styles. My fourth slide includes many pictures of a very diverse group of people. This is my church family, my brothers and sisters, my BLOOD. I love these people with every fiber of my being, with all my heart and soul. Some of these people ive known since I was baby, some ive only known for a month. But the most consistent thing about all these people is one thing. LOVE. I’m so grateful to have these people in my life! My fifth slide icludes pictures of my immediate family. My mom Claudye James(top left), my Brother Patrick Charlier (middle), My stepfather (top right) Randoplh James, and my grandmother Georgette Daniel (bottom right). These people know the best and worst parts of me, and I love them so much for that. My sixth slide includes pictures of two hobbies I love to do other than singing; photography and playing guitar. I’m an amateur at best, but im continuing to work on them and get much better. My seventh slide inlcudes pictures of books. I LOVE to read. I’ve been reading since I was one. My love for books started with my mom, who used to read to my brother and I every night before bed. From then on, my love for knowledge and books has grown ever since. I also love school, learning, the whole nine. Even though sometimes I don’t seem like it, I enjoy it very much. My last slide includes pictures of my favorite articles of clothing. Converses, Cardigans, Infinity Scarves, and Big Purses you can put EVERYTHING in. These are my four favorite items of clothing, and they will always be. Thank You 🙂
