THIS IS LYLA By: Andrew Sanzetenea John F. Kennedy Middle
Lyla Ann Gaspard can do a few things. She has plenty of hobbies and a unique background. She has an interesting love for drawing Manga. “I like to draw Manga ‘cause it is cool, it is from Japan, and there is a lot of violence in it,” she said. Lyla enjoys photography, nature, and spending time with her friends. She likes to sit in front of her television and draw things she sees like Manga and Anime. Lyla also travels a lot. She was born in Brooklyn, New 20
York and moved when she was two. After a few places, Lyla settled in Florida to see her mom get married. “I really didn’t have a choice of moving around,” she said. “I think I really wanted to stay in Brooklyn.” Although Lyla has an intense love for her family, when she gets upset she usually goes to her dog for comfort. “My sisters usually get on my nerves, so I go to my room with my dog. My sisters are evil,” she said. Lyla Ann Gaspard Untitled, 2008 Pencil on Paper
