Mrs. Smith

I first met Mrs. Smith freshmen year. She was my Spanish teacher, and we instantly clicked, me and my closest fried Alexa Macias. We would always chat and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Smith would always give us the best advice and always support our decisions. Mrs. Smith is such a genuine person who understands and listens to people. Although after freshmen year I didn’t have her class, we still managed to talk even though I didn’t have her class. Every year since then I always stop by morning, during the day to just sit and talk to her before class starts. Mrs. Smith is my day one and my homegirl osrs.

This photo shot of Amy Winehouse uses lighting strobes. This photo is significant because I love Amy Winehouse’s music and her genuine personality. This photo portrays a black scenario with high contrast which enhances the vibrant dark colors within the photo.
