Eighth grader Gayda Makki is currently in her first year as a staff writer on the Panther Post. She’s from Sudan and grew up in Falls Church, Virginia. In her free time, she enjoys reading, taking long walks in the park, and house decorating. Her favorite sports are volleyball and basketball, and hopes to soon play them in high school. Gayda’s thrilled to be a member of the Panther Post for her first and last year at Glasgow Middle school. Her goal as a Panther Post staff writer is to use her voice to not only send her standpoint, but bring light to the many perspectives at the Glasgow community.
