Hello, my name is Deanna Hampton and right now I’m completing my senior year here in Merrillville High School. This is my first year on the newspaper staff and so far I like to think I’m doing ok. Things I enjoy doing all the time would be drawing, watching anime, and trying new things. Hope you enjoyed learning a bit about this writer.
