Article about Carlton in BYU-Hawaii Newspaper
Senior Carlton Taylor (pictured above) is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. With graduation in April, he is preparing for his new life in Pennsylvania where he will be attending the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.In seventh grade, Taylor was inspired to go to dental school by his orthodontist. He also found a love for tennis that became his main focus during his junior high and high school years.
"My orthodontist said that your grades in junior high and high school don't matter that much but your college grades do, so I started trying when I got to college and enjoyed it," said Taylor.
His passion for tennis brought him to BYU-Hawaii where he has been playing on the tennis team since his freshman year. When Carlton interviewed for dental school at the University of Pennsylvania, he felt like he had an advantage because he was from BYU-Hawaii.
"The interviewer was from Honolulu and his dad still lives in Honolulu as a practicing dentist. they thought it was cool I was from a smaller school," said Taylor.
Taylor, majoring in biochemistry, has enjoyed the many opportunities he has been given with the science department in doing research and having personal relationships with the professors.
"The friendships here are great because everyone knows everyone and I like that because I'm hot a number. The teachers know me," said Taylor.
Qwest Grant Award
Grant winners are recognized in SLC at a Technology Conference.
I had an unexpected visit from Qwest Communications and Charlie Roberts from the Washington County School District to present me with a grant award to purchase Adobe Design Suite 4 for my classroom computers. The school district will match the grant so the total is nearly $5,000. Great news for my students! I had to complete a lengthy grant application that explained how the award would contribute to student success.

Carlton just proposed and they can't help but smile!So...I guess the word is pretty much out that Lindsey is engaged! His name is Carlton Taylor and he is from Pleasant Grove, UT. He is attending BYU Hawaii and will graduate in Pre-dentistry the first of June. He is attending on a tennis scholarship and is graduating in 3 years. He is accepted to dental school at UPENN, an Ivy League school in Philadelphia, starting in August. Lindsey will be accompanying him. They have set a date for June 26, Saturday. We invite you all to come to the wedding and reception. They will be married in the St. George Temple with a reception in St. George that night. There will be another reception in Orem on July 10, Saturday. Hope that you can make it to one or the other. We are excited to hear about Mandy’s wedding on June 5 in SLC.
Carlton was the Assistant to the President who picked Lindsey up at the airport when she arrived to start her mission in Vancouver, BC. She had caught his eye when her mission info arrived at the mission home and he saw her picture. He played it cool and she had no idea that he had decided to date her after her mission. They were in different areas but had several times when they were together at zone conf. and a car wash. They both graduated from high school in 2005. Carlton lives up by the Discovery Park we go to when we visit at Nancy’s. He learned to play tennis there.
So, Carlton found Lindsey on Facebook and set up a date in St. George. His grandparents have a condo down here. They went mountain biking with our family the day before Dawson left for the MTC. (Carlton loves to ride bikes so he decided that Lindsey was pretty cool to do that on their first date) She moved up to Provo on Saturday and he was there to help her move in to her new apt. They spent two days together, met his family, had Sunday dinner with them and Grandma, went to the climbing wall, went to a wedding reception, went to SLC to see the Music and Spoken Word, went to church at the Joseph Smith Building, walked around temple square holding hands and fell in love. Carlton left the next morning for BYU Hawaii. After talking for 2 hours every night, they decided they want to get married and Dan got a phone call asking for her hand in marriage.
Carlton flew to Phoenix for a tennis tournament over President’s weekend and flew Lindsey down from BYU. His parents and grandparents flew down as well. Dan, Andrew and I drove down and watched tennis for several days. Carlton and Lindsey took a morning hike up to the top of a (Phoenix size) mountain and he proposed and gave her a gorgeous diamond ring. We all enjoyed the warm Phoenix weather. We returned home and visited with Jon and Lesa and kids who were entertaining Grandma over the President’s day weekend. Grandma got to go to a Luau with her ward.
