My Timeline

My Timeline

I was born on Wednesday the fourth of May 1994 at 4:28 in the morning at Nepean Hospital Penrith, New South Wales. I am the second child to my parents as my sister was born fifteen months and one day earlier on the third of February 1993. When I was three months old I got a bad cold that would not go away and mum insisted on seeing a specialist. At five months old I was diagnosed with Chronic Infantile Asthma and had to be on a nebuliser machine every four hours day and night. I started walking at nine and a half months and at ten months on the tenth of March 1995 my dad who was a sergeant in the Royal Australian Airforce, suffered a heart attack and died instantly. A week after my dads funeral, the Airforce flew us back to Perth where we lived with my nanna until my mum bought our house in Beechboro. I stopped having asthma attacks and twelve months later the doctors said I was asthma free and have been for 14 years now.

When I was two and a half, my Auntie Jeffery took Ashleigh and myself to Karratha. We stayed with Auntie Ruth and Uncle Fred. While we were there Jeffery would tell Ashleigh off for doing something wrong but if I did it she would say to Auntie Ruth, “isn’t that cute”. Auntie Ruth said I was a devil of a child and started calling me Taz after the Tasmanian Devil. The name has stuck with me ever since and now everyone calls me Taz, in fact when my mum calls me Taylor I think I’ve done something wrong.

In 1998, I started kindergarten I also began roller skating. Every Friday morning my sister and I went to Morley Rollerdrome and had lessons to learn to skate. We also played games and dances; it was a lot of fun. The following year I started pre-primary at Beechboro primary school. My sister and I started Tae Kwon Do, the Korean martial arts, later that year we also started swimming lessons at Bayswater Waves.

The start of 2000 was my first year at primary school with Mrs. Wheeler. It was also the year my nanna died. In grade two we got our cat Tiger a typical male, mum says because he is very self-centered, and he can be very nasty if he doesn’t get his own way, it was also the year of the chicken pox. I got it first and Ash two weeks later, but we also had our first bungee jump and, flew back to Karratha for a holiday. Grade three my cousin Brad and his pregnant girlfriend Liza moved down the road from us and in September baby Blake was born. We finished Tae Kwon Do and swimming lessons were at Altone Park.

2003 was grade four and the year we holidayed in Albany, also went to Monkey Mia and saw the dolphins. Our god parents flew over from Queensland to see us and spoil Ash and myself rotten. At the end of the year I finished swimming lessons and I had to wait till I was 14 to get my bronze metal which I still haven’t done. Next was grade five and not a very good year, but we went to Hyden to see wave rock and carry on to Esperance with Jeffery to see another auntie. We spent a week in Esperance looking around with Auntie Margaret and left there and went to Albany to a cousin’s house and spent another week there. The best was at Walpole and the tree top walk. Later in the year we went camping at Cervantes with Jeffery and Uncle Robert and saw the pinnacles. Nothing really happened in year six.

In year seven I won the talent show, I was star of the school play and I improved my writing skills by 170 percent. Near to Christmas my mums’ eldest brother past away and so did my Aunty Jean. That Christmas was the loneliest Christmas I have ever had because we all knew something was missing. I saw my uncle every weekend and I lost the chance to get to know him and just as we began talking and actually getting to know each other he died and I sat there and I watched him as we waited for the ambulance to arrive but it was too late. He had cancer and his livers failed.

In 2007 it was my first year in high school and was the worst year of my life. I got bullied every day and on the year 8 camp I bashed a girl into a door. It was also the year I went on the chaplain’s camp and abseiled down a 30 metre rock. I was also in music rocks where I learnt to play musical instruments. I also got into a fight with an Asian girl who I got her suspended and then got her expelled from the school. I tried to commit suicide.

In 2008 I was in year nine. It was better than year 8 but I was still getting teased a bit but I didn’t care anymore. Another year in music rocks and was the year I met Amy Kop a youth worker from Morley Salvation Army. She came to Hampton every Monday last period and that’s where we got to talk for a whole period about anything we wanted. It was also the year I lost and gained friends and I lost my best friend Ellen Annette because of her selfish ways. At the end of term four the girls from the girls group were invited to a Salvation Army camp. Angel, Jade, Teneisha, Shannen, Jess and I went and met new lovely people and some not so lovely.

In 2009 I was in year 10 and I began to go to church because Mikayla Polkinghorne invited me. I’ve been going to church ever since. I am a student councillor at Hampton Senior High School and loving it. I am now involved with a lot of things at Morley Salvation Army like morning church, teen scene, junior soldiers, bible study, night church, scope and girls group. I went on the chaplain’s camp and did abseiling, rafting, canoeing, rock climbing, walked for 19ks and canoed for 15ks. I went on the wheel of Perth. I did the 40 hour famine and filled in my application to become a youth ambassador. One person out of 22 was chosen and unfortunately it wasn’t me but there were fantastic people there who I hope to see again.

So negative but true

Guess what kiddies? That’s right another blog from Tazzy about her change the world ideas

Well what is this blog going to be about today Tazzy? This blog is going to be about friendship and boys.

My best friend and I were having a fight for 4 weeks (1 month) and we only became friends again on the 23rd of October. There is at least one person you are fighting with or don’t like. I know it’s hard to forgive and there are some people you don’t want to take back. To forgive someone is the hardest thing to do. I would like to encourage you to call or text your ex best friend and say we might not be friends but I will always be here for you.

For all of you who know me you would know I don’t like boys very much and I judge boys before I get to know them (I always turn out right though) but at the moment I’m getting angry all the time. At Scope (It’s for ages 12 – 18 at the Morley Salvation Army www.scopeyouth.com if you want to know what’s on next week) it was boys and girls night which means the boys go off and play sports and the girls stay and do girly stuff. Well at scope the boys went off and played games and the girls cooked muffins. We had to share with the boys. There were about 20 kids and we made 4 batches of muffins which equals up to 48 muffins. The girls were only allowed to eat one each and the rest had to go to the boys. There were more boys than girls (as usual). I’m starting to get sick of boys are everything and girls are nothing. That’s what it’s like in the world and then boys take advantage of there daughters and wives. I don’t know if you like being used or cheated on and that’s you opinion and I’m not going to judge you for it but I don’t.

We women have to start to stand up, most of us don’t commit as many crimes as boys do and yet we get treated as like we are nothing. Boys say “You’re sexy” or “I want to shove my cock into your pussy”. These days there is no descent man and no matter how many times you say to me there a lot of descent guys I’m still not going to believe you.

Jesus gave his disciples authority

Jesus gave his disciples authority. That means that you and I have been given authority to go into the world and "preach" the truth. The truth will transform people's lives. But you need to be able to speak with authority...

Powerful isn’t it? That we can go to anyone and say God loves you and you can always turn back to him and he will forgive you. There are so many people out there that need our help. So I’m here to get everyone involved and I’m not leaving until it’s done

I have started with organisation called:

Conversation
Help
Alive
New
God
Evaluate

Transform
Heal
Earth

Watch
Observe
Replace
Love
Defeat

The most common and the most stupid quote in the world is “One person can’t make a difference” WRONG! One person can make a difference you know why because you all are that one person. One day you might get out of bed and say I’m going to help someone today but if you all do it, it no longer is one person changing the world. It becomes many people making a difference and it will catch on.

I’ve sent people this message because I care for everyone. I want you to feel safe in your environment I don’t want you to walk down the street and be attacked. I don’t want racism, rape, murder, child abuse, fights, wars etc. I want a beautiful world. Peace. Somewhere where we all get along and all there is is harmony.

Here are the bad things that have happened this year:
Korea shooting missiles
The disasters in China
The 2 fathers that held their daughters captive and had children with them
The 2 random shootings
The bushfires
The bombs in Pakistan
The man found dead in Lockridge from a drug overdose
Shooting in Sydney
Man stabbed in Adelaide
The father who threw his daughter over a bridge with his 2 sons in the car

This world is out of control. There is so much more that have happened this year but this must be one of the worst years we have ever had. Look at the world around you and imagine hate and killings all around you. That’s what its going to be like in a few years if that, it might be sooner. Then imagine happiness and people saying hello to other people they don’t know. That’s what it can be like if we do something now. I’m not saying there’s never going to be another killing or something to mess up peace. There’s always going to be someone but this year is bad event after bad event.

I encourage you to smile and say hello to someone who walks past you or go sit with a lonely person. Being nice will brighten up there day and then they’ll pass it on to someone else. I’ve tried this many times you’ll be amazed at how many people will just say hello to you because you said hello to them or sat with them and asked them what’s wrong. It’s not a hard thing to do. Search for people, observe them try and work them out before talking to them because you wouldn’t want to go and sit next to someone ask them what’s wrong and you can’t help them. If there sad tell them your there for them whenever they need a chat. If it’s more serious take them to the chaplain and allow them to poor their heart out and tell you their story.

Everyone has their story to tell!

I’d love and appreciate your help

Have a lovely day

I wrote it at the beginning of the year when i first wanted to change the world

My Ideas on How to Change the World

1. Random Acts Of Kindness
2. Speeches In Public Places (e.g. City, Galleria, Harbour Town)
3. Speeches In Schools (High School and Primary School)
4. Start Small and Then Become Big
5. Kids Talk To Kids
6. Let The Kids Have Their Say About The World And About What’s Happening In Their Lives
7. Start With The Kids, Change The Kids Before You Change The Adults
8. Tell Them That We Are Ruining The Planet and That If We Keep Going On The Way We Are The Worlds Going To Be A Horrible Place To Live
9. Protest Against Child Abuse
10. Kids Like To Graffiti, They Would Stop If They Had A Place To Do It Or Turn It Into Art

Speech

Today’s kids are all about fighting and demolishing things. They want adults to listen to them. They have great ideas but this world revolves around adults. I would know I’m a teenager. I’ve always wanted to change the world. When others wanted to be a singer, hair dresser, police officer or fire fighter. I wanted to travel the world and clean up litter. That isn’t as exciting now than what I thought when I was younger. A few months ago when I had ideas for raising money for kids to go to insane 2010, my mum said to me “your still trying to save the world, your good at that”, I said “I know and I wont stop until I’ve done something incredible”. I want to change the world. I want to stop bombings, murders, graffiti, fights, bullying and everything else that’s making this world a bad place to live. Random acts of kindness and starting with family and friends can go along way. We can do this. We can change the world. God has put everyone on this Earth to do something about poverty and other issues. This is like a big testing ground and it has been since the dawn of time. He has made everyone to stop wars and poverty and he wants to see us do it on our own. I will not be at the end of my death bed saying I wish I had changed the world when I was younger, maybe then I could have prevented all these deaths and all these bombings. The time is now; we need to do something now before it gets out of hand. The world is hitting an all time low and I want to see world peace before I die. I am 15 years old and I am ready to take on the world and change it and I will not stand for kids that say “I’ll do it when I’m older” or “but I’m too young I can’t change the world”. The time is now, change the world now and it will be a better place for everyone and for other generations to come.

My World Vision Speech

Hello my name is Taylor Scott, I’m 15 years old and I want to make a difference. I have done the 40 hour famine 3 times but this year instead of lying around the house not eating I went to the city. In the city eating take away is a popular thing because its quick and easy especially for people who need to get back to work fast but you also see a lot of food being wasted whether they drop it on the floor or put it in the bin. I saw all these people eating half of a burger and then throwing it out or not eating all their chips. I spent 7 hours in the city that day walking around watching people.

I have to admit I am a picky eater and that’s when my mother and I fight a lot. For a while now I have been uninterested in food. I don’t eat much. I used to eat quite a lot and I just don’t feel the need to anymore.

I have been going to the Morley Salvation Army for nearly a year now. I go to morning church, teen scene, junior soldiers, afternoon church, girls group, bible study and scope. I am going to insane which is in Melbourne in January to protest against trafficking and doing all kinds of things. When I’m older I’m going to join primary school teaching and missionary work together.

You know when your young and you want to be a princess or fire fighter. Well I wanted to go around the world and clean up litter. That doesn’t sound very exciting but that’s what I wanted to do. Ever since I was little I wanted to make a difference, I want people to look at the world around them and realize that there is poverty, racism, child abuse, sexism, rape and the list goes on.

When someone told me America has spent so much money on making guns, tanks, ammunition and other war equipment that they could have made poverty history 22 times and that’s only one country, I was disgusted. I said that’s disgusting, they would rather shoot at each other and kill each other rather than save millions of people that are starving because of the climate. I hate weapons I don’t see the need for them if every country got rid of all there weapons then you wouldn’t have wars and you could save a lot of money and spend it on something that you really need.

I believe we are gods hands, feet and mouth and he has put poverty on this world for us to solve it. God does everything for a reason. In Proverbs 21:8 it reads, Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. There are more than 2,000 references in the bible to do with children and poverty. The cure to poverty starts with children

We need to:
Speak the unspoken
Heal the unhealed
And reach the unreached

We need to speak out and we need to do it now. I believe one person can change the world because if everyone is that one person we are then a group of one people changing the world.

Thank you for your time it has been a pleasure sharing my experience and my life with you.

That Girl

There's a girl at my school, she's a year 8. I've been watching for a while now. She sits down and eats her lunch alone and then when shes finished she walks around the main quad. She seems clueless. I'm going to try and go talk to her on Monday and if I'm successful I'll invite her to come to the chaplains to hang out and meet new friends. I'll tell you how i go.

Warm Fuzzies Finished

I sent 90 warm fuzzies in 7 hours and 10 minutes. I had 14 days to do it and i chose to do it in less than half a day. I did pase myself though i would do 30 every 2 hours or so. Feel free to do your own. People are replying to mine. I even sent one to the head of World Vision in Perth.

Everyone can do this. You can send 10 if you want to. I have been told by the people i sent mine to that i have brightened up there day and thats what you want to do. You make one person happy and then they make someone happy and it goes on and on and on.

Its not hard (until you run out of things to say) but you can just say your a great friend or you have a wonderful personality. It doesnt have to be huge. Its a simple step to making the world a better place for the future.

That all folks

A tut tut tut byebye
