Ayla Kayan, Editor
Ayla Kayan, 17, is a junior at SBHS, who strives to do well not only in her school work but her sports as well. Kayan is taking seven college level courses this school year and plays three sports at SBHS such as volleyball, swim, and water polo.
“I think that doing well in school work also translates to doing well in my sports,” she said. “It [school work] teaches you discipline and time management which sets you up for future success.”
This is Kayan’s third year in the Journalism class and club and is an Editor for the Bulldog Bark Newspaper. She loves to go out and interview people within the South Broward community as well as share people’s stories and experiences through her writing.
“I enjoy hearing people’s perspectives on different subjects and issues,” she said. ” I feel like experiencing and being able to listen to these conversations are extremely important to being a well rounded person.”
As well as her love for learning, Kayan is an avid traveller. This past summer she had the opportunity to travel to England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and Northern Ireland. And previous years she has been to Puerto Rico, France, and Türkiye, which is where her family is from.
“I believe that everyone should be able to get a chance to go somewhere different in their lifetime,” said Kayan. “It really opens up the eyes and mind.”
