What if the smallest, most frustrating moments of your morning could alter your destiny? For Kyla, a series of seemingly unimportant events on an ordinary school day culminated in a life-changing moment. In this gripping, personal story, she explores how a single event can change our trajectory forever, leaving us to question the invisible forces and split-second chances that shape our lives. Kyla Corelli teaches middle school science at Atlanta International School, balancing lesson plans, chaos, and cat hair with heart. On weekends, she scuba dives or plays soccer—rarely simultaneously. Weeknights find her building miniatures or rebelliously coloring outside the lines. She travels the world with her husband, collecting memories (and questionable souvenirs), but home is where her four cats reign. Special shoutout to Clover, the chicken-loving guilt machine. Kyla’s life? Equal parts adventure, creativity, and feline-approved fabulousness. Iconic in every way.
