What Taylor has taught us

Seniors share lessons learned

As Christmas Break approaches quickly, so does the end of a season at Taylor for many seniors graduating at the end of this semester. Looking back on the last few years, a few seniors share Taylor’s impact on their lives.


Madelyn Ames
How do you feel Taylor has impacted you? 

“Taylor has impacted everyone differently while they are here. For me, it has created a deeper understanding of my faith and how I can use it even when I enter the world post-grad.” 

Linnea Solak
In what ways have you seen yourself change since being a freshman? 

“I feel much more confident and comfortable in who I am in Christ. College is so full of change, and I’ve realized that my circumstances will change and I can’t control people’s perceptions of me, and the only thing I can always rely on is God.” 

Hope Thomas
What is one thing you would tell your freshman self or a piece of advice you would give?

“You don’t grow where you are comfortable. You win some you lose most, and the losses teach you more than the wins ever do.”

Ryan Reimschisel
In what ways have you seen yourself change since being a freshman? 

“I have seen myself just become more inclusive and much more understanding of those around me.”

Katie Peters
What is one thing you would tell your freshman self or a piece of advice you would give?

“Don’t take yourself so seriously. Have fun and be you, even if it deviates from the norm or from what seems “cool” at the time. Treasure your friends and allow yourself and others to grow. And have fun!”
