Hi, my name is Ty Garrett. I’m a rising sophomore in high school and planning to attend a four-year university. I was born in Asheville, North Carolina, and raised in Leicester, NC. I have moved two times in my lifetime. But I have stayed in the Asheville area for all of my life. I live with my mom and dad and my cat Jingles. My favorite things to do are going to the beach, bowling, golfing, and tanning.

Going to the beach has always been my favorite thing to do because I love swimming and the ocean. Another reason why I love the beach is tanning; I love getting tan and being outside. Golf is my favorite sport. I played golf in 7th and 8th grade; it was so fun because all of my friends played. Bowling is my second favorite sport; I love going to the bowling alley with my friends and family. Other sports that I played are basketball, soccer, and baseball.

I’m currently attending early college at AB Tech Community College. I have attended Christian schools my whole life until this past year. I made the switch to attend early college because I would have an associate’s degree when I graduate. I take education seriously because I want to succeed in my life. After receiving an associate’s degree, I plan on transferringring to a 4-year college, where I would get a bachelor of arts degree in communication studies.

I have a passion to pursue a career in journalism because I watch the news a lot, and my dream is to report on what is happening around town. Communication is important in journalism, and I love communicating with others. I love meeting new people and sharing stories with others. I’m excited to see what the rest of life brings.
