Learning how to drive

At school, I took a drivers class. We basically learned the rules of driving and the signs posted on the street. Here in Texas we are allowed to drive at age 15 as long as you have a drivers permit and someone with you that's over the age of 21. And to get the permit I had to take a test over the rules. On that test if you pass, which I did with a 91, you are allowed to get a permit. And now that I have a permit, I drive my parents everywhere. Especially my mom to the stores. I still need more practice but i'm getting better and better. By next year, I hope to get my lisence. And with a license you can drive by yourself. Pretty soon I will have my own car, and I could drive it to school when ever I want.

Week 5

This week in geography class we started a reading a new chapter of the textbook, It's about southwest Asia. We started drawing maps of southwest asia, and started labling the countries. We also began learning about it's physical features like rivers, lakes, mountains, vegetation, and deserts. Southwest asia looks small compared to Africa, but looks very interesting.

About me:
Another interesting fact about me is that I'm really good at math. I love math. I think math is so easy and that I could do any problem there is. Right now I'm making a 95 in math. I hope to have a career that involves math and algebra, for example Architecture.

My spring break

Last week we had spring break. Which is a whole week off of school, to have fun and take a break from school. During my spring break, I went to Arlington, TX. There we stayed for two nights at a big hotel called, La Quinta Inn & Suites. It was so nice. I felt like I was living in luxury. There was a pool and jacuzzi, a fitness center, computer room, and for breakfast it was all-you-can-eat. During the day I went to Six Flags Over Texas, a theme park with some of the fastest roller coasters. Since I said in my previos blog that I love roller coasters, I got on every single one there. Including The Titan, a roller coaster that travels at 85 mph. It was all very fun and I enjoyed spending time with my family. Attached is a picture of The Titan.












Week 4

This week in class I learned more about the continent of Africa. I learned all the countries in Africa and some of the physical features there. On Wednesday we had a test over Africa. It asked about their economic situations, their past and present, and their cultures. I thought the test was pretty easy, because I know that I studied. On Thusday we also watched a movie that talked about the current situation in Darfur, Sudan. Where many people are being killed and tortured because of their race, background, and religion. I think the situation is really bad and I hope that soon, the killings will be over.


Another interesting thing about me:
Another thing that's facinating about me is that I love to ride roller coasters. Over the summer, I went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas, a theme park in San Antonio, TX. I had a blast riding on all the highest, fastest, and scariest roller coaster there. I love the feeling of gravity pushing down on me, and the wind blowing hard in my face. I love roller coasters, and if I had a chance, I would ride them all day.

Anderson High School

As you guys know the school I go to is Anderson High School. Here at Anderson, it's great!! There are so many things to do here besides learn things. There are clubs and sports that you can join. Right now I'm not in any sport, but I did play football and was in power lifting. Football was really fun and our season's record was 4 wins and 6 loses. Although we didn't do to good, we had fun and by next season, we expect to be better and win all our games. Power lifting was also fun. All we did was lift weights, and competed against other schools. I love it here in Anderson, and I hope you love your school just as much. I encourage you to participate in sports or clubs at your school.

Week 3

This entire week in Geography we discussed about the Genocide in Rwanda, also we discussed about the current situation in Darfur, Sudan. We had a seminar, which is basically a group discussion, and we expressed our ideas on the topics. I think that the situation in Sudan is a Genocide, because there are many people being killed and a lot of violence is happening. And I don't want things there to look like Rwanda, where many people died.


More information about me:
When I grow up I hope to be an Architect. I like that in Architecture, you can put what ever you like in a house. So in school I want to take classes that are related to architecture here. I hope to be an important personthat gets to draw blue prints for important hotels and homes.

For information about me

My name is Kristopher Treviño, but you can call me Kris. I was born in Austin, TX and still live here. Austin is my favorite place because there are many things to see, like the Capital, the Bob Bullock Museum, there are also many beautiful parks that you can visit. Some things I like to do in my spare time is play with my dog, Mumble. He is a chocolate lab mix, and has blue/green eyes. In Austin, the college Univeristy of Texas, is my favorite. They are the best at sports like football, baseball, soccer, basketball, golf, swimming, and even tenis. Their mascot is the Longhorns, and I hope to be at that college one day. The life here in Austin is great, the sun is almost always shining and it's just the best place to visit.






Week 2

All this week we have learned about Africa and its sorroundings, and the terrible Genocide that happend in Rwanda. Where many people were killed because of their background. We learned that the Huttos and the Tustsi are two tribes in Rwanda that have disliked each other for a long time, and one day the Huttos killed the Tustsi, just because they weren't Hutto. It make me realize that we are so fortunate to have a place that is safe.

- In case you don't know some of the words written:



  • Background- where you came from

  • Tribes- group

  • Fortunate- lucky
