Hi, my name is Ryan Taylor. I’m 14 years old and in 8th grade. I go to Denver Valley Middle School. It’s a pretty big school and there are about 1,200 students. Our soccer team, the Panthers, won the city championship last year.

I have red hair and am a bit short, but I’m tough. I like to read and hang out with my friends.

My family lives in Denver, Colorado. My brother is older than me and lives with his girlfriend. They have their own business, something to do with the internet I think. My parents work for American Airlines so we travel a lot. We like to go to Mexico because my mom is learning Spanish.

My best friend Jarod and I love football. We’re big Denver Bronco fans. We go with our dads to most of the games. My dad has season tickets. I’m into watching sports. I also like swimming and spend a big chunk of my summer vacation at the pool. It’s a cool place to meet friends.

Sorry I have to go, it’s dinner time. There’s a cheeseburger waiting for me on the table. See you at camp!
