Family Life
The eldest of five siblings, Tyron understood early on the importance of being a role model and offering positive reinforcement and brotherly advice to his brothers and sisters. While his parents worked, Tyron made sure that his siblings were safe and well taken care of. This, however, could have been much different. At the age of three, Tyron was struck by a car in a near-fatal accident. Doctors worked tirelessly to save him, but were not hopeful of his survival. He was resilient, and he pulled through. To his mother, he was meant for something big, something important, and he could handle anything. Growing up, Tyron had a lot of responsibilities, besides his daily chores and homework. He helped his parents raise his brothers and sisters and made sure there was a strong support system. He mentored; he comforted; he played board games. At the age of 16, Tyron’s family endured a very difficult hardship- they lost their home. Forced to move into a motel, all seven family members shared a cramped room, and Tyron began working to contribute as much as he can. Juggling High School, family, and work life, Tyron was determined to keep some semblance of normalcy for the sake of his family. He performed with his High School Madrigals Choir for all four years; he was devoted to his church; he was a member of many extracurricular clubs. He still mentored, comforted, and played board games. By his senior year of high school, Tyron’s family overcame their financial hardships and they moved back into a home.

Bullied

Like so many of today’s youths, Tyron Jackson was bullied and teased in school; the most prevalent was in high school. Much of the bantering was name-calling, however he was abused on many occasions, and the persistence of his classmates caused Tyron much strife. At one point, it was so horrible that he was hospitalized with bleeding ulcers. One event, in particular, stands out among all others. At the end of his Junior year, Tyron ran for Senior Class Vice President. As Tyron took the podium to deliver his speech, a few students started to boo at him and call him bad names , then more students joined in. Mortified school faculty tried to calm the students, but the damage was done. Humiliated, Tyron persevered and delivered his speech, then ran to the motel him and his family called home. Hurt and distraught, but not broken, Tyron was determined to occupy himself with his future, and not let the taunts of his peers affect him. He wrote music and rehearsed with his first band, Maximum Style. While his band was short lived, Tyron went solo and performed in many of his High School events and talent shows. He set his sights on University of California, Stanislaus, in Northern California. While awaiting their decision, Tyron became very involved with his church and went on many mission trips.
