Q&A With Taylor Roper

About (request update)

I do not allow my past or current situations keep me from achieving my goals. This past year was very emotionally tiring in due to personal matters, and I was also involved with many activities in school. However, my struggles did not keep me from excelling and staying on top of my school work. I have been #1 in my class since I was a freshman and have never fallen from my spot; this was not due to me not being challenged or my coursework being easy. My accomplishments are from the determination and ambition that runs through my body. They come from the knowledge of knowing that I can do well and be successful regardless of what is trying to stop me. I am special because I know who I am and what I can do. I am constantly growing better and better everyday. I have a thirst to learn and do well and make my family and myself proud, but most of all, I know what I have this purpose in life that God has given me to fulfill, and the only person that can fulfill this purpose is me.

Current Whereabouts:

I love reading, taking pictures, and playing the piano. I am very much involved in music and plan to continue in music in my future. I also love helping people, especially tutoring people. I feel the most rewarded when I see someone smiling because I was able to help them in some way.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I want to help people. I want to inspire people to want better for themselves because they deserve better. I want to help those who think they are not good enough or smart enough or qualified enough to achieve greatness. My ultimate goal is to let people they have a purpose that can only be fulfilled perfectly by them.

Best Memories:

I have so many amazing memories from high school, and the ones I choose to speak about are not necessarily the "best", they're just the ones I remember most. For one Friday-night vespers, the school had a carnation ceremony where a person would give someone they had wronged a carnation to say, "I'm sorry." The person who received the carnation had the choice to accept the carnation and give one back to say, "I forgive you." It was beautiful and will forever be in my memory. Another memory is when my choir went on Spring Tour and ministered to people. It was truly a blessing.
