As stated in the header above, my name is Ty Simmons! I’ll keep this short and sweet. I’m a Senior with a year and a half of experience writing for The Leaf. I’ll be your Sports Section Editor this year, which means I’ll manage and edit all stories related to athletics going on here at Sycamore. I decided to come back after a hiatus through quarantine because the energy in the class is just unparalleled. Writing for The Leaf is such a great means to make your mark on the school in a unique way. I like that the class allows for creativity and I missed that! I recommend taking it for anyone reading this that isn’t in the class. 

In terms of interests, I have a wide variety. You could come up to me and talk about anything, and I’d be able to relate or follow it. That’s why I know so many people from so many different backgrounds. My biggest journalistic inspiration is Vice News. They give honest looks into society that you don’t often see on other primetime news outlets. My favorite things to do overall are going on roadtrips with friends, playing video games, music discourse, and lifting. My music taste sums up who I am perfectly. From NSYNC to Miho Nakayama, it’s all over the place! Just like me. I’m also an active member of the Track and Wrestling team, and have experience with most of the other sports this school has to offer.
