Hi, my name is Taylor Armstrong, I am from Arlington, Texas and I'm 18 years old. I went to Arlington High School and was the schools VP and Historian my senior year. I'm very outgoing, adventurous, loud, and athletic. I've three sisters and one little brother on the way but two are step and one is half. Macey my full blood sister is 13, Kaylee is also 13, Emily is 12, and the brother doesn't have a name yet but will soon with his due date being in November! 

One thing I love to do more than anything is watch or play sports. I've played soccer, basketball, track, cross country, cheerleading, and my favorite I played which is volleyball. Luckily I was blessed and got to play volleyball and soccer in high school which was a goal of mine since I started those sports in elementary. My volleyball career ended though my sophomore year but I did get the chance to get MVP award that year which was my big goal in high school. Soccer was a different story, yes I did play and loved it up till sophomore year also but with me as a goalie and girls determined to get a goal at all costs sometimes, in one season I got three concussions therefore my parents made me stop playing all sports. I was devastated but now I'm over it and live my life watching ESPN basically every night.

In high school after the student athlete life was gone, I became more involved with student organizations such as the two I was in Student Council and Key Club. Most people know what student council is but not Key Club, Key Club is an organization where students volunteer and plan events from our own school to the DFW area. I met my best friends while in these clubs and got to have some pretty cool opportunities. Some of them included working at the Green Oaks School, putting together tailgates before Friday night football games, and working the Special Olympics. One out there and different opportunity was when I was working a festival in Dallas and a man came up to me and 3 other girls I was volunteering with and asked us to be in a charity fashion show. We said yes but were kind of skeptical because it was random man so we didn't even know if it would be "legit". It ended up being a semi big thing in Fort Worth after all and we ended up raising $10,000 which felt really good since majority of the girls and guys including myself didn't expect that and also didn't even know what we were doing.    


Some other last and little small facts about me are I love going to concerts, especially country, hanging out with my friends, traveling, and working out. And also, I hope to further my education with double majoring in Education and Psychology.
