Hi! My name is Dankwa Nnoma-Addison, I’m a senior, and I am a Staff Writer for Wildezine. This is my 4th year in Wildezine and my 6th year at SSFS. I love this elective because I enjoy writing and sharing my articles and opinions with the school community. Besides writing, I enjoy playing soccer & lacrosse and writing music.
