A. My name is Vontae Jones, I’m fifteen years old and I’m
from Detroit, Michigan, and simply put, I’m the type of person that will always
try to travel a different route compared to everybody else. I’m very creative,
and that creativity is one of my most valued traits, because it took me awhile
to actually realize that I had such a free spirit inside of me. When I was around ten years old,
I started to see a different side of myself, the side that was funny, and the
side that could come up with these wild adventures and stories that I would
portray through the comic strips that I made by hand. It was this realization that lead
me to becoming an author. I knew taking such a route
wouldn’t be easy or even fun when the time came to put my nose to the grind,
but I’m always up for a challenge, and I’m always up for a chance to show
everybody what I can come up with, to try to bring joy to their life with a story,
and I’m always up for a chance to leave behind something that people for
generations to come, can enjoy just as much as those who came before. Simply
put, this is who I am. The dreamer, the fighter, the creative soul, and the
person who will never stop going forward.
