Title: Life's a Strife
Nothing's easy to accomplish in the world but it's even worse when you come from a different country and try to create a big name for yourself. Life's been a strife for this young man but it's all been worth it.
It's was a cold winters eve in London where the new Bachata artist Tyler sang his song on stage in front of hundreds of people. The lights were shinning, the snowflakes were slowly drifting down in the chilly breeze but most of all...the fans were cheering!
"It was truly amazing!" he shouted as the crowd cheered his name in the background. He never thought it would of been possible for someone like him to be on the road to success specially at his age. Tyler is only 18 years old and comes from South America, Colombia- Pereira. He left his country and his family for a new start and the one shot he's always wanted. He dreamt of being a footballer when he was younger due to having a passion for sport but when he reached the age of 15 he went on the show 'Colombia Tiene Talento' (Colombia Has Talent). After being eliminated in the semi finals he met the famous artists Romeo Santos and was told he was was going to make it far and that's what Tyler is aiming to do but slow and steady wins the race.
"It's been a tough ride" for Tyler, he hasn't had an easy life. During his life early life in Colombia his parents divorced and he relied on his mum for support and most of the things he needed. Ever since this it had a great impact on his life causing him to have a lot of depression but worst of all went wrong in school, rumours went around causing him to get bullied, 'I remember people telling me that i wasn't going to get far in life and that i should just give up'. Due to this he didn't have the best education as he had other things going on his mind so he couldn't get a well payed job to support his mum.
'I couldn't bare seeing my mum crying in the night, I had to do something. I'd see her sitting up on her bed crying in the dark as she wiped tears with her sleeve. I'd come over sit next to her and wipe the tears as they ran down her cheeks and tell her that everything's going to be alright as i lifted up her chin and smiled. She'd look at me with her sparkling eyes, smile back and give me a hug.
After him seeing this he started busking on the street and noticed that a lot of people complementing his voice and that he should try do something with it. It was at this point that he had the idea of leaving the football career behind and to open a brand new door and here we are, Started from the bottom now he's here. 'Life's a strife' he said but you got to work and work till' you finally reach your goal but most of all, don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do.
