## Resource

Kayla Wright, Forest Hills senior and scholar-athlete, is heading to Howard University to study biochemistry with a music minor while balancing track, soccer, Science Olympiad, chamber music, and book club—all while maintaining a near-perfect 99.9% GPA. Known for her leadership, emotional support for teammates, and volunteer work since freshman year, Kayla overcame a junior-year ACL tear, fueled by her twin brother Kaleel’s inspiration and her own resilience. Kaleel credits her for his success, and their coach calls her the quiet powerhouse whose kindness defines her impact. Both twins aim for the Olympics, but Kayla’s focus now is mastering biochemistry and music at Howard. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
