Class Interview: Travis Hawkins

I recently had the pleasure of exchanging a series of interview questions with a class peer  shortly after introducing one another.  To recollect my first impression of this gentleman, the following is my conjecture of his human character:
            Travis Hawkins is no “average Joe” college student.  From Hartsvill, SC, a “boring and small” town according to Travis himself, he spent his pre-university years seeing movies for $2.25, improving at ping pong and developing a creative mindset to interpret for a college major---specifically, visual creativity.  As a surprise, he even tells me about his religious adventures, originally following a “Wicken” religion and eventually settling down to this day with Baptist Christian views.  “I absorb it all for the full story/ truth,” a characteristic that makes him a decisive person amongst his most passionate perspectives.

To combine this knack for visuals with his technologic savvy, he decided upon a “Digital Information Design” major after conflicting with his potential submission to a “Criminal Investigation” major.  “I spend a lot of time in front of a screen” Travis tells me.  While most may say this is a poor habit, it seems to benefit the steadiness of his educational direction.  After years of playing games such as “Minecraft,” and “Halo,” Travis has learned to appreciate the creativity behind the production.  In addition to video games, he is also strongly opinionated on movies (especially after seeing them cheap in Hartsville).  His favorite movies come from one of his greatest interests:  Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” series.  Travis claims to be a “HUGE” Batman fan, mentioning his collection of comic book memorabilia and other collectables. 

            Amidst his lesser passions, Travis occasionally enjoys the music of The Monkees and Simon and Garfunkle.  Shortly after discussing a mutual taste for the two artists, he tells me that he could be, unfortunately, an insomniac.  However, I personally see this as the tragic flaw of a creative mind---with the mind at an electric flurry during the night’s late hours, it could spark an artistic idea that will be world famous one day. 
            There you have it!  Travis Hawkins:  The name of an all-American, eighteen-year-old student, but there’s a superhero behind that everyday name just waiting for society’s distress call for creativity.
