LAST WORD

Every so often, we encounter a person whose life strikes us as

particularly remarkable.

It happened this month with a story we ran on Amy Taylor.

Taylor, at 27, has adopted her three brothers to make sure they don’t

end up in foster homes the way she did.

She has a 3.8 grade-point average as a scholarship student at Vanguard

University. She’s raising her brothers, ages 17, 15 and 12 and her own

7-year-old son right. She’s teaching them respect. She’s emphasizing the

value of an education. She’s put together a family when many doubted it

could be done.

Her story is one to go back and savor, if you haven’t already. Or to

take a second look and find inspiration.
