[/COLOR]LET'S START WITH THE BASICS: HOW OLD ARE YOU, AND WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
I was born on December 23rd, 1993, which makes me seventeen years old. My full birthname is Cooper Bradley Davis. The name Cooper is a family name. It is tradition in the Davis family for the first born son of each generation to be named Cooper. This is a tradition that spans generations, beginning first with my great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Cooper Nathaniel Davis, who first immigrated to the United States from Ireland during the 1680s, shortly after the first colonies were established in the New World. I am quite proud of my first name, because it represents the strength, honor, valor, and power of the men of the Davis family. My first name helps me maintain a strong connection to my ancestors and enables me to feel closer to them than most people my age do. My middle name is a variation of the name that my mother had picked out for me prior to my birth. You see, I wasn't supposed to be a boy, but rather, my parents had been told they were expecting a girl, so my mother had picked out the gorgeous female name of Belinda, from her side of the family. Obviously, Belinda wouldn't work for a boy's name, so my parents quickly came up with a male substitute in the form of "Bradley." As identical to my first name, I am also quite proud of my last name, Davis. The Davis family has a strong history in Wrightsville Beach, as our family is practically royalty in the area. Being a Davis carries a special air and privilege which I definitely take advantage of quite frequently. I can honestly say that overall, I truly love my name, Cooper Bradley Davis.[/sub][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/COLOR]WHO ARE THE INFAMOUS PARENTALS?
My parents were Cooper Fenmore Davis and Scarlett Jeane Davis. My parents were high school sweethearts who were separated during their college years. My father went to Duke University where he was pre-med and then attended medical school at the Boston University School of Medicine. My mother, however, went across the country and attended University of California at Las Angeles and majored in the performing arts, then spent eight years performing at various shows on Broadway. As fate would have it, my mother's years as a Broadway actress soon ended and she found herself longing for her childhood home of Wrightsville Beach. My mother travelled back home and rented an apartment near her old childhood home, attended the local university to receive her education degree, and then went to work teaching at the local high school which is located across from Wrightsville Hospital, where my father was hired after completing his residency in pediatrics at Children's Hospital of Pennslyvania. One stormy day, my parents were both rushing to reach their perspective places of employment, when they ran into each other; dad in his suit and white coat, mom in her artistic dress and crazy hair. As soon as they bumped into each other on that fateful day, old feelings came rushing back and they found themselves married the next year, on April 3rd, 1989. They soon settled down into the family mansion settled on the Carolinan coastline where many generations of Davis' have grown up. Four years later, on December 23rd, 1993, their first and only child was born. Although my parents were extremely happy together, my mom began feeling the pressures of being a busy working mom. My father's crazy hours of being on-call at the hospital weren't helping things much either. Shortly before my seventh birthday, my father caught my mother cheating on him with the principal of the high school where she was teaching. Needless to say, both my mom and the prinicipal were fired from their teaching positions and my parents divorced. Shortly after the divorce, my mother traveled back to New York to follow her dreams. We've lost contact and neither my Dad nor myself have spoken with my mom since that fateful day she left us ten years ago. Needless to say, I despise my mother for what she did to our family, and have no desire to ever reconcile with her ever again. My father however, is my best friend and my hero. He is one of the strongest people I've known and is always there for me, no matter what. When I first got interested in singing and performing, my father paid for private lessons and even built me a mini studio in our basement. Before I got my license last year, my father would drive me to the studio in the city and for auditions. He was even willing to fly me to California or other hot places for gigs. I love my dad and would be completely lost if I were to ever lose him.[/sub][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/COLOR]NOW, WE'VE SEEN YOU OUT WITH SOMEONE THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU! ARE THEY YOUR SIBLINGS?
Thanks to the erractic behavior of my mother, I have no siblings that I am aware of at the moment. However, since my mother and the principal flew out to New York together, I could have any number of half-siblings that I want nothing to do with at all, although, they could definitely exist, I'm sure I'd hate them as much as I hate their parents.[/sub][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/COLOR]DESCRIBE YOURSELVES TO US, WILL YOU?
Although I may seem like a flat, one-sided persona, I actually have many different facets to my personality. I am definitely a book-worm, and in class am the shy and nerdy person who sits in the front of the classroom, actually takes notes, and answers all the questions, almost before the teacher even has a chance to ask the questions. I am also great at time management skills and am a very organized person. It drives me crazy when people are messy and I absolutely hate it when people touch my stuff or rearrange the order of objects and belongings in my room or studio without my permission. In my circle of friends, I am known as the advice giver, the eternal optimist, and the one to go to when you need a shoulder to cry on or just a quick pick-me-up. If I didn't want a career in music, I'd love to be president or a public speaker, because I love being in charge and having the ability to make a real difference in people's lives. I am charismatic and compassionate and love to volunteer with those who are less fortunate than myself. I love sports and am extremely competitive. I hate to lose and definitely have that stereotypical, type-A personality. However, underneath all the seriousness is another side that only my closest friends ever get a chance to witness. That side is goofy, blunt, sarcastic, and sometimes even a little bit spontaneous. That's the side that enjoys a fun game of apples to apples and even enjoys playing pranks on my friends. Although the crazy side of me is lesser known, it is truly a gem that is something that everyone in the world should have a chance to experience at least once. As far as flaws go, since I am a perfectionist I can sometimes be a little too hard on myself. I also find it hard to accept criticism of my personality or work and will get bent out of shape if something doesn't go exactly as planned. I can lose my temper easily and have known to be a bit bossy from time to time. I rarely cry and have been known to push myself a bit too hard at times, sacrificing my own well-being and happiness for the happiness of those people in my life that I care about the most. I am good at writing music, listening to people's problems, caring about others, being organized, working independently, and am a quick learner. My greatest talent is never giving up. My experience from my accident and the incident with my mother have taught me that with a dream, nothing is impossible.[/sub][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/COLOR]NOW, FROM ANOTHER PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW, WHAT IS HE/SHE LIKE?
this can be from an enemy, a boyfriend, a best friend, anyone. they simply write an opinion about this person.[/sub][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/COLOR]RELATIONSHIP WISE - HOW ARE YOU IN THAT DEPARTMENT? ALSO, IF YOU HAVE A SIGNIFICANT OTHER, WHAT DO THEY THINK OF YOU?
Whew, my relationship history is quite complicated and emotionally draining for me to recount easily. I am currently dating a young girl whom I don't really love. I am only dating her to fill the void in my heart that was left and the giant hole that was created when my heart was broken when my former girlfriend and I broke up. Although the girl I'm dating now is sweet, pretty and just generally a nice girl, she's no Callie and is therefore, not the girl for me. Callie Rae McCarthy is a whole other story. She's the one for me and the girl that always makes me laugh and smile, even when I am feeling down and upset. She knows exactly what to do to make me smile and is the only one who knows my deepest and darkest secrets. We started dating when we were thirteen and she was my princess and I was her prince charming. However, they say young love doesn't last, and that is definitely true for our relationship. We broke up when we were fifteen and tried to be friends for awhile, but that didn't quite work out. I've been trying to convince her that we belong together, but so far that hasn't worked out. All I know is that no matter what, I'll love her and care about her forever and always.[/sub][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
Callie Rae McCarthy- "cooper and i have been through a lot together. we met when we were young and instantly became friends. the moment i met him i knew that i had to have him, and i did eventually. we started dating when we were fourteen. it was perfect - he was perfect. i loved everything about him - his eyes, his curly hair, his voice. but what started as sunshine soon turned to rain. things started to change, and we broke up around a year later. it was a rough breakup. it was the hardest day of my life. after we broke up we started to deny everything that happened, and we also avoided each other a lot. i wrote a song called 7 things. it was about the breakup. somehow cooper found it and he got really angry about it. we both were writing songs about each other. music is an outlet for us, and he is the only one besides my dad who knows i play music. another year after the breakup we started talking again and ended up writing a song which we called before the storm, after we wrote it we just distanced apart again. and now i am seventeen and i still love him with everything in me..honestly i think he's the greatest."
[/COLOR]WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN?
In my spare time, I enjoy doing many different and diverse activities. I am a bit of a nerd and enjoy reading and doing crossword puzzles. I also love making youtube videos with my friends and am definitely a sports-aholic. I love playing wiffleball, baseball, bowling, golf, and tennis. I enjoy running and love surfing and the beach. Above all, I enjoy singing, playing guitar, drums, keyboard, piano, and songwriting. Music is my life and escape and is something that helps me when I am down in the dumps and upset. I also enjoy going to the movies, the theatre, going to the boardwalk, traveling, and hanging out with my friends, such as Kenya and Lyndsee.[/sub][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/COLOR]ARE YOU GOOD AT KEEPING SECRETS? IF SO, DO YOU HAVE ANY YOURSELF?
I am definitely great at keeping secrets. I am a great listener and the person people turn to when they need advice for their problems. I definitely admit that I am better at helping others than myself, and I do have my fair share of secrets myself. My biggest secret is that even though my mother hurt my family when she left many years ago, I still want to try and reconcile with her one day, although no one knows about it.[/sub][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/COLOR]AND FINALLY, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO TELL US?
When I was thirteen, my father and I were involved in a serious car accident. My father was fine, but I suffered a major closed head injury and was in the PICU of Duke Children's Hospital for one month, was in the stepdown unit for two months, and spent six weeks in their inpatient rehab program, followed by six months in their outpatient rehab program and one year in their day rehab program. I went from having to relearn all my basic skills, to being basically the same person I was before the accident. I still have an internal shunt in place to drain the excessive fluid and to keep the pressure within my brain regulated, though no one, not even my best friend or girlfriend, knows about it. I also have epilepsy which was caused by the accident, though it is controlled by medication. Again, no one is aware of my condition, because I am afraid of what someone might think if they found out that I'm truly not the perfect person everyone thinks I actually am.[/sub][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
Also due to the accident, my face muscles on the right side of my face sometimes twitch and were actually paralyzed for about six months. As a result, my smile doesn't look quite right which has made me self-concious of my smile. As a result, I don't smile very much, even though my friends and girlfriend all love my smile.
