My name is Enzi Imara. My name is Swahili and it means the power of the ancestors. My parents pick my name because they found it very unique and different. my mother came up with the first part in my father came up with the second part I have a two part first name in both of them are Swahili. I believe my name is very powerful and I do love the meaning of my name. The power of the ancestors is the spiritual, cultural, or mystical impact that past generations have on their descendants. I love the most about my name that it’s so unique.

Mac & cheese is probably one of my number one foods . I eat it every year for Thanksgiving and my cousin used to make the mac & cheese so very well every year it is a part of our family traditions to have macaroni and cheese on the table at all times for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a holiday in the United States and Canada where people give thanks for the harvest and the good things from the past year. And with that we eat mac & cheese every year

Every year before Christmas me and my family take a Christmas picture .! we have been doing it for almost 7 years now and we take pictures and matching pajamas. We also make them into live pictures so you can see what was going on trying to make pictures. I believe my bonus mother made this a tradition so every year we can see how much we’ve grown and also of the simple fact of keeping people in the jolly and Holly Spirit for the holiday.

And she has made me who I am today and I appreciate it so much so my grandmother is most definitely my hero from saving me from things That has happened on my life also.

I always wear black because that is my favorite color to wear but I am now hoping that I will grow out of black because black is a very dark color but for the last couple of years I have been wearing straight up black and nothing else I do like hoodies but I’m also trying to grow out of hoodies too and open my eyes some more options of clothing to wear but as of now my favorite thing to wear is probably black hoodie.

A good quote that means a lot to me is strength is what we gain from the madness we survive because I believe that is very powerful. I believe that people go through a lot of things in life, but do not realize it makes them stronger.. I believe a lot in things that hurt people also bring them up and it’s also just a better way of looking at things. There is bad things that happen in life, but no matter what it makes you stronger so out of the bad things come some good.

I would probably say my second food would be peach cobbler I think making peach cobbler is one of the things I’ve done most in life . I have made peach cobbler almost every Christmas is Christmas not Thanksgiving.. that’s what makes it different to me because I make peach cobbler on Christmas and not Thanksgiving and I started learning how to make peach cobbler when I was about seven years old.

A song that relates to me is probably you’re never fully dressed without a smile by Sia . The lyrics are but baby you’re not fully dressed without a smile, but if you stand for nothing you’ll fall for it all we got all we need God love and more you’re never fully dressed without a smile if you stand for something you can have all cause if it’s real you’ll open every door. you’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile (2014 Film Version) this song came from Annie, my favorite movie and I believe this song means a lot to me because I think a smile is very important and I smile a lot and I think if you’re not dressed of the smile, things can go wrong sometimes.

Another song I can really connect with is fireworks by Katy Perry. The lyrics is do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again? Do you ever feel so paperthin like the house of cards won’t blow from caving in do you ever feel 6 feet under scream but no one seems to hear a thing cause there’s a sparking you you just got it in light the light and let it shine just on the night like the Fourth of July cause baby you’re a firework. I believe this song means so much to me because it is saying you are heard or you can be heard and it’s OK to be yourself and I stand for being yourself.
