It's a pretty good first try, but there lots of things that need improvement.
1. you aren't running quite enough lands in this deck, 24 is a good number, I often do 25 though.
2. You will hardly ever get Pristine Skywise out, because you only have 3 blue mana sources, you can take him out.
3  There's some pretty horrible life gain cards in this deck, 5 mana to gain probably 5 life is a pretty bad deal, in fact, straight out life gain is pretty bad, take them out as they have no synergy with the rest of your deck.
4. Auras are pretty bad. Most of the time, you would be better off with other creatures anyways. one reason for this is because you can get 2 for one easily. Say, you enchant a sentinel spider with hero's resolve, then your opponent casts say, a doom blade on it. You are down two cards and a lot of tempo. Which reminds me:
5. You need more removal. To me, it is pretty important to have about 4-5 pieces of creature removal and maybe a bit of enchantment and  artifact removal in your sideboard. Which brings me to:
6. You can't really just put a whole color in your sideboard. It may look cool, like "so you beat my green white deck, now why don't you try to beat my green red deck?" in reality, that doesn't  really work, especially not with only three red mana sources total, main deck and sideboard. Even if you put mountains in your sideboard, it will probably just lead to some mana screw.

This may seem like a lot of negative criticism, but in reality you could have done a lot worse. (only five mana guys for example). Don't worry, with a little bit of tweaking, this deck can become a real force to be reckoned with!

Haha, thank you for your reply! I was just sorting my cards and trying to analyze them. My sideboard is all red because I've only sorted through my red, green, and white cards. I am going to buy some more mana. I am getting back into MTG after a 18 year hiatus. I bought a bunch of random cards on amazon (about 2500) to see if they were worth while and they  turned out to be alright. I bought a starter white and green and got the bug again. I originally had the tempest deck in the 90s and gave it to a girlfriend's brother, HUGE mistake! I really, really, really appreciate your feedback! I'm going to put a more serious deck together now! I love this site!
