"he was a student in my personal finance course in Spring 2015. I could tell he was exceptional from the moment he entered my space by how he conducted himself. Mr. Taylor was always determined to do his best and compete with the other students no matter how he was feeling inside.
he had to have surgery around the end of that semester, but in Mr. Taylor’s fashion, he finished all his assignments and assessments before he had to check in the hospital.
In my ten years of public education, I have never met a student who had so many challenges against themselves and still fought each of those challenges and won. The fact that Mr. Taylor is alive and well is a true testament to pure human will. I’m just glad and blessed that I can be a witness."

"I first met Mr. Taylor in the year of 2019 to help assist in our marketing side and He was eager to learn and work with us! We also hired Mr. Taylor as a brand ambassador for our retail and clothing division. Not only did he represent our brand but he brought in sales based on his trust and how he carried himself in his personal life that brought us extra service!"

"I first met CJ when he was in my second-grade class. CJ and I have stayed in contact through the years. When CJ told me that he was going to college for music I was not surprised.
I noticed right away that CJ saw the world differently than the other children. CJ has always been creative, He could see past the “normal” of the assignment and bring creativity and light to his work. He always loved working with others which allowed amazing collaboration to happen.
I know that CJ will inspire others through his music. His dedication in doing everything to his highest ability will shine through in his work. I am excited to see where CJ goes with his music career."
