Stuff that is different. The kind of stuff that you will find at the Thursday night auction in Caldwell or at an estate sale…

Who Am I? The simple answer is a name, Travis; but who is that really? It took me awhile, and a lot of learning to truly feel like I found myself. Looking back, finding myself was the easy part; the hard part is trying not to lose myself again in this big, scary world. I learned trying to follow your own path can have major ups and downs, including stress and a desire to feel wanted by people who you feel are better than you. I believe this is where the brain and mind differ the most, in the…

Teachers ask, “Where did you come from? What are your hobbies? Are you new to the school?” And most occasionally , “What did you do during your summer break?” Whenever a teacher asks me “ Tell me about yourself” or “ Who are you?

before I was born, which started on November of 1621. I am thankful for Michael’s, food, and friends. The first thing I’m thankful for is, Michael’s, an art store right by my house. I’m thankful for Michael’s because, without that store, probably about 98% of my art supplies wouldn’t be in my room. You know, I got to Michael’s so much, the employees remember me and know who I am! One main reason why I’m so thankful for Michael’s is because of their awesome deals! I use a coupon every time I…
