Chosen for this week’s first senior spotlight is Ashlyn Dyson. Ashlyn is generous, athletic, and caring. In her free time, she enjoys working out, trying new food spots, getting acai bowls, and going to parks, especially to watch the sunset. Ashlyn has been playing basketball since fifth grade beginning with the Junior Canes and is now breaking her own records at BHS.
Q: What are your plans after high school?
A: “I’m going to Marietta College to major in Psychology and to play basketball.”
Q: Who inspires you the most?
A: “My little brother, Cameron, because he always has a positive attitude throughout anything, and he always stays true to himself, no matter what.”
Q: What advice do you have for next year’s incoming freshmen?
A: “My advice is to build your own path; don’t follow all of the trends and what’s popular because what’s popular is not always what’s best. Stay true to yourself, and do what makes you happy.”
Q: What is your dream vacation?
A: “I would say Colorado because I’ve always wanted to see the mountains and the landmarks that they have there. The weather seems nice, too.”
Q: How do you manage your time with school, work, and sports?
A: “I prioritize what’s important to me. I make sure school stuff is handled and then work on basketball. After that, I fit work into my schedule.”
Q: What was your favorite memory during high school?
A: “I would say the beginning of my senior year because my peers and I did a lot of senior activities, which brought us closer together. It was also nice to get to know some people I wasn’t as close with.”
Q: Have you ever predicted an event and then it happened?
A: “It happens all the time. It’s hard for me to narrow down just one time.”
Q: Describe senioritis.
A: “It’s kind of like an unmotivating motivation because you’re motivated that you’re at the end of your required schooling, but at the same time, you’re so close that you just want to jump to the end.”
Q: Out of your entire school career, what teacher has been the biggest inspiration and/or influence to you?
A: “Mrs. Raglow from Brunswick because she always kept it real with us and was a mother to her students. She was funny, inspirational, gave life advice, and supported our futures.”
Ashlyn, we hope that you have an amazing rest of your senior year. We are blessed to have you here at BHS. Best of luck at Marietta and beyond.
