Personal Essay Hello, my name is Tyler Bryce Baker-Williams. I am 15 years old and I attend Tamalpais High School. I am currently living in Tiburon CA. However, I was born in Connecticut and moved to San Francisco shortly after being born. I lived in San Francisco for 1 year until moving to my current home at the age of 2.
