Goals & Aspirations: “My long term goals in life are to attend a Division I college on a scholarship playing soccer where I will finish my degree as a nurse. I would love to be able to play on the women’s soccer team and play for a medal representing my country.”
Kayla is Successful Because: “I feel I’ve always become successful from practicing. I have a great work ethic and I understand what it is to sacrifice for what you love. I don’t give up and always try and be the best that I can be. I never forget to thank God for everything he’s given me.”
Kayla Looks Up To: “Someone that I look up to is my mom. She’s always there for me. She is a strong woman and she showed her strength while my dad was in Iraq. She’s never left my side. She’s there for my ups and downs. I can relate to her and I love her dearly!”
Cause for Concern: “If I were to be president of any nonprofit organization, it would be one that helped less fortunate children in need of a home and food. I hate seeing little kids go without. I could never imagine how life would be like that.”
