When Taylor Thompson was in fourth grade, several monumental things occurred in her life. In September she received her first pair heels to wear to church and other special occasions. In December, she was given a birthstone ring, just what she wanted. On her 10th birthday, for one day only, she was allowed to wear lip-gloss, no color just neutral gloss, and she could apply it however many times she wished, after school... But it was at the end of her fourth grade year that the most amazing thing happened. During the awards assembly in June she received the Leadership award from her teacher. The award symbolized her "…tireless effort to take make a positive difference by providing leadership and direction in class events and activities". She had never seen herself as a leader. That was something adults did. But there it was embossed on a plaque, next to her name: the word leader... The words "make a positive difference" stuck with her and over the next few years. And soon Taylor began..
