"Cowboy Carter"
Carter Louis Downs, also known as “Downsy”, lives with a family of four including his mother, Nicole; dad, Chris; and brother, Cole. Growing up in Madison he enjoyed spending time at Grandma Carla’s farm and being outdoors. As a kid, he dreamed of becoming a cowboy, but now intends to go to SDSU for mechanical engineering; the rest is to be determined. However, if he could live anywhere, it would be the Black Hills because, as he’s stated, “It’s not flat, but it’s still in South Dakota.” Some of his favorite things are the color blue, ribeye steak, and hunting.
As a self-proclaimed hard worker, Carter lives by the quote, “Nobody cares, work harder.” Currently, he works at Prostrollos in the detailing department, but if you ask him where he sees himself ten years from now he would say, “In South Dakota, on a farm, with a family, a dog, and successful somehow, some way.” The only thing that might get in his way is anything with a stinger because if there’s one thing he’s afraid of, it’s scorpions, bees, and wasps. One thing he believes underclassmen should be afraid of is procrastination, and his best advice is to make relationships with your teachers since it is a vital part of high school.
Carter’s favorite subject is history since it helps him learn more about interesting changes in the world. With that said, if he could have any superpower it would be time travel so he could explore the past and future history that is made! A character he chose that would best describe him is the famous Looney Tunes cartoon, Yosemite Sam, who is tough-spirited and quick to learn from his mistakes, and if he could be any character in a movie it would be the best friend because he stated, “Everyone likes them and they are just there”, which is the perfect description of Carter himself.
