Bio-Kayla Voas

My name is Kayla Voas. I'm 15 years and in September I will be 16. I'm a sophomore at Olympian High. I was born here in California. I lived in Rhode Island off and on because my dad is in the Navy. I am 5'1. I play the guitar and I'm learning to play the harmonica, piano, and the ukulele. Last year I participated in Olympian's lady eagles volleyball and softball team. It was really fun being on the two teams with my friends and my new teammates. Ever since being on the team for both volleyball and softball I had the opportunity to meet a bunch of new people that are now my friends. I also learned to be more confident in what I do. I have 2 brothers, one is 18 and going into college, and my other brother is 13 and just started 8th grade. I love animals. I adopted a 6 month old lab mix last week and she is really warming up to us. She has taught me to be trustful with others and so always try to learn new things. She has taught me this because when we first saw her at the pound she was very unsocialized and she wasn't trained at all. Now she is playing with us, her toys, and other dogs. She is also learning to walk on a leash and she is now house trained. She is also learning commands like sit and lay down. She has just learned all this in just a little under a week. By doing that she has helped me strive for what I believe in and that I can learn new things if I try hard enough.
