My name is Taylor Hansen, 17 yrs old, a senior at Colony High and have been athletic all my life; from soccer to gymnastics, basketball, track, volleyball, softball, you name it! Sadly, even though I could run the fastest, jump the highest and hold school records, I wasn't completely happy with my body and the way I looked. I seemed bigger than all my friends who wore double zeros in jeans and I wasn't entirely comfortable wearing those super cute short shorts every summer either.
After being tired of looking in the mirror and not being satisfied, my mother, sensing my frustration, gave me her Oxygen magazine and the information in that magazine changed my life. I knew I wasn't fat but I have a lot of muscle, so I still felt ginormous. However, after going through the magazine and seeing all the beautiful and healthy-fit athletes, I was immediately inspired. I wanted to feel good about my body and I could finally see that I could look great and still be muscular.
About a year later, having finally set my goal to compete before I graduate, Jennifer Dawkins, my fabulous boss, mentioned to me that she was interested in competing as well and was taking posing classes, every week, through the Midnight Sun Muscle Club, and invited me to join her and at that moment I KNEW I was going to compete in the next show - no doubt about it! I cannot explain my excitement knowing that there was another who shared my dream.
My initial goal is to get on stage and "rock it" without tripping. Ultimately however, my goal is the title. For my first competition, I would just like to enjoy myself and gain the experience one can only gain from stage time.
I absolutely love my coach, Carrieann Hall and all of my teammates. Their support and encouragement is super motivating but truly, I want to be an excellent role model for my younger sister, Sydney. I want to inspire young girls, teenagers and young adults that if you set your mind to it, you can do anything!!
I'm about to make my dream come true on April 4, 2015. If you want it - it will happen!!
