My brother Taylor is one of the most amazing people I know! It has been so fun to support him through his high school experience. He truly is someone that shoots for his dreams and accomplishes his goals. He has been working so hard and is taking more AP classes than I can even count. Through all these classes he still finds time to be involved! His sophomore year he decided that he wanted to be on the football team. He has never been on any football team before but he went to every last practice and supported his team at every game. He truly worked so hard and the guys on the team came up with a nick name for him, "mac and cheese", because of his curly hair! He is such a loyal friend and has become friends with so many people.
He also took the ACT test and got a 28 on his first time! How amazing is that!? He has recently applied to BYU and we are waiting to hear back. I am sure he will get in.
His senior year has been especially busy, he has been in band, choir, and on the swim team in addition to all his hard classes he has been taking for college. He decided to try out for choir this year and made it into the highest choir he could get into! He is an amazing singer and he even just sang the National Anthem at the regional swim meet today. I have always dreamed of doing that or singing in church and look at my brother, he has done both!
Watching him at his swim meet's has been especially fun! I truly didn't even know he could even swim. I think I just thought he couldn't because I still have to plug my nose haha! He has done such an amazing job!
Most importantly, my brother is one of my strongest examples of following in our Savior, Jesus Christ's footsteps. He is always serving at any extra moment he has and I have actually never heard him complain. I know he is going to be an incredible missionary when the time comes. He always does what is asked of him and is always a peacemaker in our family. I am so grateful for my amazing brother, and I couldn't ask for a better example for my children.
WE LOVE YOU TAY!
We love you Taylor!
