Biography Of Chris Keck

My name is Chris Keck, but many people know me as Chris Gonzales. I am 15 years old and I was born in Kansas City, Missouri. I am the son of Marta and Dartanion Morrison. I am the sibling of Danielle, Alexius, Mahalia, Devin, Daniel, and Zachariah. I am not like every other typical teen, I don’t like football, I can’t wrestle, I can’t play basketball, all I can do is swim, smile, sing, and take pictures.

I went to East Elementary for elementary school. I liked the school because there were kids off all different races and there wasn’t any racial profiling everyone got along. The school wasn’t the best school it was far from the best. Since the school was from grades K-8 there were older kids that always got into fights and it influenced younger kids to fight. So other kids my age would try to be like there older brothers or older sisters and try to fight, elementary school was when I got into my first fight. There was a kid that always thought he could beat up everyone and he would always pick on me. I didn’t like it so i fought back. Not knowing if I would lose or if I would win but I stood up for myself. Of course I lost the kid was bigger than me, I have always been the shortest kid in the class. But I was proud of myself for standing up.

I attended Northgate Middle School in North Kansas City. Northgate was extremely different from East. There were more caucasian kids than there were any other race, and some of them weren’t always nice and some didn’t always accept you. It was hard, middle school was the first time I had ever been excluded from something because of my skin color. I remember in gym, we had to play soccer as a team and the teacher would make teams and I was chose to be on a team of all caucasian people and one of the students said, “Black people can’t play soccer”, I was extremely offended and I sat out the hour. But middle school wasn’t that bad. I joined the swim team and had a 50 freestyle of 31 seconds. I had a 50 backstroke of 36 seconds, I was very proud of myself because I found something I was good at. But the only problem was that out of all the swim meets I had my family only attended one. I was crushed every time they didn’t show, but the first time they showed up my whole life lit up and I won first place in every event I had accept one. One other reason why I liked choir I joined choir. Choir was a place where you could express how you felt through music, I never knew I had the vocal ability to do what I did but the teacher loved me, she once asked me “How do you sing with so much feeling and so much soul”? I told her I really didn’t know but I felt great about myself, we had choir concerts and my parents never came to one of them. I wasn’t hurt because I was used to it.

Finally high school came around and of course everyone was scared and didn’t know what to expect. For the first half of my freshman year I attended Central High School of Saint Joseph Missouri. I really liked Central. But we moved. Now I attend Benton High School of Saint Joseph Missouri, Benton is okay I don’t like it as much as I like Central. So far since I have attended Benton High School, I have had no problems. I have two choir concerts since I have been here and my family finally attended one. I was a little surprised but more happy. I attend choir and that’s the only activity I attend, I plan on attending on more than just that activity I plan on attending theatre arts or drama class as well. In high school I met two people that became my best friends and thats Andrea Lopez and Ingasha Titworth. Andrea was the first friend I had when I came to Benton, Andrea and I always have something to laugh about, Im there when she needs me and she’s there when I need her. My other friend Ingasha became my friend in gym class. She was always scared to talk to me, I guess I made her scared. Well me and Ingasha started hanging out and she turned out to be just like me. We thought the same thing, said the same things at the same time, liked the same colors, and both enjoyed choir. Ingasha has always benn there for me and I always gave her my ear so she could have somebody

to talk to. Ingasha wasn’t always happy there were days

Since I Am a keck i thought i would do the keck family crest.

The keck family first originated in germany, if you were to see me you wouldn’t believe that i was german. But the last name of keck wasn’t only in germany.

The average life expectance of a keck is around 80 years old. During the civil war there were 260 keck families, 24 from the confederate and 236 from the union. the kecks first arived in america in the 1880’s.

One Word DescribesTrust, It’s Family!

“Sit down in the waves and look toward the sun in a sympathetic way”, “Which position do you want me to turn my head” “Do what comes natural”. Everyone is faced with that one question, “Where am I going to live my life and what am I going to do with it”? Out of any place in the World as of right now I would like to be in South America. I want to be in the continent of South America because of the culture and it’s nativity. I would also like to be in South America because I love the beaches and the weather.

If I were in South America right now I would like to be modeling. I would like to model because ever since I stepped in front of the camera I fell in love. I take this as a gift because there are people all over the World that are not

satisfied with the way the look. I would like to show people that it doesn’t take a big town person or someone from the rich part of town to be someone outstanding. The reason I would like to be doing this is to help today’s society. I think that this will help todays society because people believe that you

need blonde hair, blue eyes, and a perfect body, but in all nationality it doesn’t matter if you have these features you can be beautiful if you show your true colors.

I also would like to be a male model because there aren’t very many African American male models. I think that if I were a model than I could also prove it doesn’t matter where your roots originated it matters where you are now. I would also like to be a male model because the
