A Perfect Tribute When it comes to honoring someone you can't just throw things together in five minutes and say you're done. You need to really think it through. So thats why my tribute made in honer of The tennis star Venus Williams consists of many components. For example I have a tennis racket surrounded by pillars and a bronze dome. I chose bronze because it will withstand weather. I also chose to do a tennis racket because it is what you use to make bold, strong, and powerful serves which gain you points. As for the pillars I will make out of cement so it is strong and durable. I will also have kiosk right next to my tribute so that visitors can go and see clips about her and of her playing and a slideshow. There will also be a button on the tribute that if you press will say a quote. The colors i have chosen for this are red and black. Red to show how bold she is and Black to show that she never gives up. The quote I have chosen to represent on my tribute is,"Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do, and at some point you will." I chose this quote because it shows how strongly Venus Williams believes in never giving up. If I were to give this plan to a contractor I would make sure he built my tribute 12 feet high and 6 feet wide.

Childhood Venus was born in a gang infested area of Lynwood, California. Her and her sister and her dad would go to the public courts and practice tennis while there was a gang of people sitting around. Richard had to be careful. One day Venus and Serena were shot at by a gang's members [the Bloods]. Later on the gangs in the area were so proud of Venus and Serena that they agreed to "ceasefire" while they were practicing.
