Texas Tech Graduate Destiny Taylor is Headed to Harvard After Being Accepted Into Three Ivy League Schools

Destiny Taylor, born in Lubbock, will soon be headed to Harvard.

Destiny was born in Lubbock, but being in a military family, had to move around some. She has lived in London, Los Angeles, New York and Arizona. She says there is no place like the Hub City, and it will forever be the place she calls home.

“My friends always ask, ‘How do you go from like LA, London, and then you’re back home?’ But this is my home,” Taylor said.

At the end of every summer, she cried, not wanting to leave Lubbock. Taylor says living in big cities made her really appreciate being home because of how friendly everyone is.

She wasn’t sure what she wanted to pursue at first and did everything from modeling to managing an art gallery. Then she decided to attend Texas Tech, because it let her do everything she loved.

“Texas Tech allowed me to combine all my passions and that’s why I chose to be here,” Taylor said.

When she started thinking about what she wanted to do after college, she knew she wanted to go to a prestigious school. So, she applied to Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.
