Following Dreams

8/26/2014

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today marked day 2 of senior year, and the first day of my “Teaching Reading” class. I really love the classes that give me a firm grasp on the curriculum involved in different grades. I especially love classes like this, which incorporate my love of books and the classroom. I think reading and writing are key parts of any student’s success, both inside and out of the classroom.
I think that many students, especially those in foster care, grow up unsure of what they want their future to hold, and what they want to do with their lives. By giving them books to read on all of the possibilities that there are in the world, they may be able to find a dream to pursue.

I have been very fortunate in the fact that my parents have always encouraged me to follow my dreams, whether they be to become a Radio City Music Hall Rockette (turns out I never grew tall enough for that one!), to become a teacher, or to start up a small business. I know that some children aren’t as lucky as I am to have support in any of their endeavors, but I think it is important to encourage students when I am a teacher because of this.

If you are a foster parent, or someone who has a foster sibling, it is important to remember that encouraging the foster children in your life is one of the biggest ways you can help these children. No matter how long a foster child stays with you, you should always push them to follow their interests and dreams. Listen to their hopes for the future, and provide a window to what the world holds for them.

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
