They call me Tyler.

I write in different styles, but with the same voice.

Background: I'm 17, but don't let my age deceive you. I'm smarter than most people think. My favorite thing to do is to play soccer. I'm on the Varsity soccer team for Deltona High School, playing as a starting right defender. Soccer is my passion - and that is why I'm also a soccer referee. The kind of refereeing I do is an actual job and I get paid good money to do it. I'm currently looking for another job though, but I've had no luck. My second passion is most certainly writing. I want to publish a novel and poetry book someday. I would also like to write a screenplay for a movie and write songs for a living. I'm copy editor for PawPrint (high school newspaper) and the yearbook. It is hard work, but it is worth it when the papers and yearbooks are published with correctly written stories. I'm guessing I will probably go for a journalism or an English major in college, unless something else comes to mind. I plan to go to SSC (Seminole State College) for a little while, and then do a direct connection to UCF (University of Central Florida). I'm the kind of person that likes to have a productive life.

Soccer Preseason Summary

Preseason Game 1/2 vs. Deland. 1 Tuesday, we (Deltona High School Wolves) had a game against the Deland Bulldogs - our arch rivals. We had this new guy Zack as our goalkeeper, so I was really nervous! I'm a defender, so trust with the goalie is vital. Unfortunately, I didn't have it...so I wasn't distraught whe
