People of Avon High School: Al-Ameen Alayaki

By Idowu Adeleke // Reporter

Describe your happiest moment.

Making my first soccer team, I had a sense of inclusion. I like being included. The first time I tried out I didn’t make the team. I had to work hard during the second try-out, and making the team showed that my work actually paid off.

Describe a time when you were frustrated with yourself.

I lost a friend, and it was completely my fault. I said something very insensitive and it offended them. I only later found out how what I said reflected on their life.

When were you the proudest?

When my friend Edgar finally played in a football game against Westfield. He’s been trying to fight for that kicking spot for a while now, and he finally got it.
