A Day in the Life of Mr. Taylor

What's the difference between a cat and a lawyer? One is an abominable being that will ignore you and treat you with contempt unless it decides it can get something out of you. The other is a household pet.

As almost every morning brings us a clear sky to gaze upon, we still find ourselves in doubt and hesitation. Which is it that we should be focusing on? The xx days left until culminatings are due, or the same number of days summer gets a lot closer? This year has been long and exhausting, and sometimes we wish only that it would end and set us free. But then we wonder if that is really what we want. What of the little classroom moments that are actually fun? What of the inside jokes that might spawn any day? What of the evolution that is happening so slowly and yet so surely, that when we look down at the essays and tests we can't help crying over, we realize how far we've come?

Life, and its people, come and go fast, and we can only try to savour the time we share. After one awesome year at Mackenzie, Mr. Taylor is moving on much to our chagrin, but not without having recorded something to remember him by.

If a rainbow had a human counterpart, its personification would be Mr. Taylor, a miraculous walking phenomenon who, despite his brief time at Mackenzie, made an impression with awe-inspiring impact. His students know him for his daily updates on the days remaining until exams but also for his unparalleled passion for the social sciences. It's hard to judge what, between his jolly laugh and deep regard for others, is the coolest part about Mr. Taylor, and we can't promise you that this energy-filled episode will help you decide. It will remind you that Mackenzie is blessed with great teachers who, by giving us sunshine and rain, are symbolic of rainbows - don't miss out on learning about and appreciating them while they're here.
