Introduction:
The adolescent I am observing is a female of the age of 16. She comes from a Ethiopian and Yemeni background but was raised in the United States. Some of her features of include long dark brown hair, large brown eyes and long fingernails painted with matte grey nail polish.

She then hops off and snatches the phone out her sisters hands and observes her photo. She raises her eyebrows as she grips her phone tightly then looks up with bright eyes and says “Damn, I look good”.
