Hi! My name is Layan Al-Khaled and I’m a freshman at South. I joined Stinger because I love to read and write, and I also enjoy doing research on topics that interest me. And since the newspaper combines both, I thought it would be a great experience to have!

Here are three fun facts about me!

My debate partner and I ranked in the top 3 debaters in the state of Illinois.

I met a former president and his family when he was only a senator.

I recently adopted a rescue kitten who is currently sitting on my keyboard as I type this.
