My name is Robert Taylor-Anderson. I am the fourth of 5 children and the eldest boy. I am from the southside of Chicago specifically Roseland neighborhood. I went to a magnet school called Burnside Academy on the Chatham neighborhood, and Keneood Academy for highschool located in Hyde Park. Graduating in 2011 I ventured to the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign. I joined the work froce for a few years from 2012 untill 2015. My life turned around andi moved to Chicago where I currently reside. During this time I had my "Year Up Moment". My house burned down and during this time I decided to join the year up program. It was either all or nothing and I went all in. Being in the year up program has groomed me and shaped me into a professional individual. This stepping stone will open the door to my goals in becoming an entreprenuer, business owner and property owner.
