A little about me...














Now that you have heard my changed views on blogging, I think it is appropriate to give you some insight into who I am. My full name is Travis Benjamin Franklin, yes I am aware that my middle name is Benjamin and my last name is Franklin. My parents weren't huge American history buffs, I was named after my great-uncle. I was born in the Seattle Area but moved to Spokane when I was 6. I went to Colbert Elementary, Mead Middle, and Mt. Spokane High School. After High school I bounced to a few different school until landing at Whitworth College. I graduated from there with a degree in Elementary Education with a focus in math and reading.


5 months after graduating, I married my high school sweetheart Whitney on October 7th, 2007. We bought a house in the Shadle area and now have an almost one-year old puppy named Chloe who is like having a real kid, full of energy and mischief.

After graduating from Whitworth, I got hired to teach 6th grade at Colbert Elementary, where I went. After spending a year there, I moved over to Shiloh to teach 6th grade again. I love teaching and I truly believe what the Bible has to say about the subject when it says that not all of us should presume to be teacher, because those who teach will be judged more strictly. I thank God everyday for sowing me at such a young age what I should be doing with my life.

Franklin, out.

  1. you didn't write about what a great teacher you are. Hanna had a great 6th grade year and was lucky to have you as her teacher at Colbert. Hope you are like your new job. Kim
