B-One is a 16-year-old African American teenager boy with black hair, brown eyes, and a tall stature. He was originally born as B-1, however due to clerical reasons his name has legally been changed to B-One. He is described as a “normal high schooler” who is the life of the party. He loves to be the center of attention and put on a show. He enjoys video games and enjoys helping around the house and cooking (he is becoming a grill master)! When it’s his turn to cook for the house, he “pulls out all the stops” and loves to show off his skills. The whole house looks forward to B-One’s turn to cook. When he is not cooking or playing video games, he loves playing basketball and spending time with friends! Some of his favorite foods include pizza, chicken, Takis (all flavors), and hot fries, while his least favorites include mushrooms, seafood, asparagus, squash, zucchini, and avocados.
B-One is very smart and loves to engage in social activity and conversation. He will take any opportunity he can to call a sibling and often wants to speak with a maternal relative. B-One can process his own mistakes and bad choices with a trusted adult, and he tries very hard to make good choices. He always searches for positive feedback wherever he can find it and wants to feel loved and secure.
Behaviorally, B-One is described as a “typical, normal teenager.” When he gets older, he would like to be a therapist and a coach. Specifically, he would like to coach middle school basketball so that the young boys will be good athletes when they get to high school. B-One has never played on a sports team; however, he loves to play basketball and believes he would be good on a team if he was every given the opportunity. He enjoys listening to music and his favorite genres includes rap and hip-hop. B-One also loves dogs, especially Yorkies.
