North Village. He has won many trophies for his football skills.

Other activities Travis enjoys are swimming, golf and cricket.

Travis, 13, is a second year student at Warwick Secondary where he is on the honour roll.

His favourite class is English.

Travis describes himself as talkative and a person to have fun with. His outlook on life is very bright.

" The best day of my life was the day that I was born. If I had not have been born I would not be having so much fun now,'' Travis said.

Not every day had been as good as that first one though.

"The worst day of my life was the day that I was being chased by a dog. I did not want to get caught because it probably would have eaten me,'' he said.

Travis got his nickname `Red' because of his red hair.

He likes to eat pizza, watch Fresh Prince and listen to Bounty Killer. He has two sisters Toya and Tennille and one brother Tyler. As pets he has a dog, Ribs, and a cat, Tosha.

Travis said that if he had an open plane ticket to anywhere in the world he would go to Disney World because of the fun rides and the people that he could meet there.

The person that Travis would most like to meet is Capleton because of his love for football.

Travis sees violence as society's main problem. To solve this problem he would talk to people and tell them that people do not deserve to die.

He believes that government should have a place where teens could talk about drugs and violence.

"If the violence doesn't stop within the next 15 years it will be like the world is coming to an end. A lot of people will be dying quickly,'' Travis said.

"But if society can get control of the violence then Bermuda will be a friendly place. It will be a better place for all of us to live in.'' One wish that Travis has is that everyone on the street would have a job.

"Some people quit high school and couldn't go for their dreams. I would like to see them succeed,'' he added.
