Hi! I’m Frankie and I’m in 9th grade. On my free time I like to hang out with friends and family, play soccer and volleyball, do art, write, and cook. I decided to join the newspaper because my dad’s an author for a magazine and I always was so fascinated by it. I also have always just enjoyed writing, especially in middle school English class. I really wanted to explore writing more and I felt that newspaper was a great way to do that.
