Garden City--Taylor Sullivan
Published 5/26/2011 in Youth In Excellence
It's doubtful anyone will ever accuse Taylor Sullivan of being unable to express herself.It showed in her four years at Garden City High School through her writing, dancing and love of music.
"I'm an expressive person and love poetry and creative lyrics," the GCHS graduate wrote in a questionnaire provided to The Telegram. "Dancing and playing the piano are both very relaxing and yet fun to do. I can easily get lost in song."
Sullivan, who graduated with a 4.0 grade-point average, has been attending Garden City schools since third grade, and lived in Russellville, Ark., prior to that.
She participated in dance team, band, jazz band, was a writer and editor for the student newspaper, the Sugar Beet, and was a member of National Honor Society and Interact at GCHS. She also was vice president for Tri-M, the honor society for the music program.
Her favorite classes were broadcasting and newspaper, taught by Jesse Bernal and Monte Moser, respectively.
"I've grown to love recording and creating shows and news stories, and Mr. Bernal really helped me gain confidence to do so," Sullivan wrote. "Mr. Moser was always so much fun to listen to, and he helped me develop a stronger passion for writing."
Her least favorite class was trigonometry.
"I have struggled with math, and that class challenged me to the fullest," she wrote.
Her hobbies include dancing, writing and playing/listening to music.
She said her most memorable times in high school were dancing at halftime of the football games, and attending the Hatchet Game against Dodge City her freshman year.
Her advice to incoming freshman at GCHS is, "Take advantage of your opportunities and do the activities you want. They won't be around forever."
Sullivan plans to attend Kansas State University, where she will major in mass media and journalism.
"I would like to eventually work either as a magazine columnist or a news reporter," Sullivan wrote.
Sullivan says she hopes classmates remember her for being open and accepting to different types of people.
"High school was a crazy and chaotic four years of my life, but I absolutely loved it," Sullivan wrote. "I only hope when fellow classmates think of their memories with me, that they can say the same."
