My name

my name was used by a guy of the name of William Travis. he collected tolls from people that were crossing a bridge. it comes from the word traverse which means to cross. My parents told me my name was supposed to be Trevor but my brother could not pronounce it so they changed it to Travis. i wish my name was Trevor but my brother had to ruin it. if i could pick a name though i would pick a name like Brian or something more common. I would also want the name Gad because it means fortune and that is ballin.

if i was......

if i were a superhero i would be like spider man. it would be so fun to swing on a web around the whole city. it would feel good to be a hero because people would look up to you and think you are cool. if i were a car i would be a lamborghini murcielago they are the coolest cars ever. they are really fast and are really sharp looking. if i was a type of food i would be pizza because it is so delicious and every one loves it. http://www.supercars.dk/lamborghini/lamborghini-murcielago-race-car_d1070m113.aspx

nature vs. nurture

i believe nurture is a important key in our life. our personality is a reflection of our parents personality. we look up to our parent and we learn from our parents and that is what we do. if our parents show a good example the u would turn out a better kid than if your parents showed a bad example. the tings we do are probably the same thing our parents would do because that is how they brought us up into the world. how kids are raised is very important.

My Movie

if i was in a movie i would be a sports movie. it would be about football. It talks about a kid right out of high-school that goes into the pros. He is said to be the best player in the league and maybe in all of sports. He gets drafted by the Dallas Cowboys and is a started right from the day after the draft. The co-stars include Tony Romo, Terrell Owens, and Marion Barber. All of the pros in the league are out to get him injured just because of jealousy. Of course it is a true story about me.

halloween costume

when i was about 7 i dressed up as a gangster. not like a black gangster but like a scarface gangster. i wore a black pin stripped suit and a top hat type thing. i died my hair black and had a tommy gun. i went out and tricker treated but about half way through i tripped and broke my gun and was very angry and i got alot of candy. A different time I dressed up like a teenage munant ninja turtle and that was probably the coolest costume ever. I was Leonardo. Halloween is a awesome holiday.

My Music

I listen to country music. I defines me because I live in the middle of the corn field and that’s just what we listen to. Other than those wanna be city boys that listen to rap. It defines my generation because a lot of people listen to Country and put in into there own personal life. About 100 years from now they will probably think it is old and they will not listen to just like now how we don't listen to old music night. I like our kind of music and will probably like it all my life.

setbacks and comebacks

Life has many setbacks. I have been through some of the setbacks but the one that sticks out in mind the most is the 7th and 8th grade basketball. I sat the bench whole year and only went in with seconds left. I was so angry and was ready to quit. My parents talked me into not quitting and I went out freshman year and played my hardest. I ended up starting and playing most of the games. I played the whole season and never lost my starting spot. I am still playing basketball and it is one of my favorite sports. I am happy I did not quit.
