Getting a black belt means  that I have accomplished an amazing goal. It means that after 5 years  of hard work, dedication, criticism, and effort that i have reached  the same level of importance as Mr. Jones and every other black belt.  After countless classes and advanced classes, I have finally reached  a stage that will help me throughout my entire life. Becoming a black  belt doesn't mean I can kick anyone’s butt or that I am better than  anyone else. It means that I have joined a rank of hard working,  respectable few who exemplify what it takes to be a great person.

Besides being a Black Belt, Travis is a football star that all the girls adore!
His muscles are so big, he can barely get through the door.

But steroids aside (ha ha!) … I remember a young Travis who came to all of our Parents Nights Out …
All the other kids loved him … when he walked in they would scream and shout!

He was a leader back then, and he’s a leader today.
Thank you, Randy and Lori, for bringing Travis our way.

Football and lacrosse take up a lot of Travis’s time …
But he found the time to practice, and now he’s in the Black Belt line!

Thanks, Travis, for your effort and your perseverance to succeed.
Your life will be great, ‘cause inside you have all that you need.
