Sammy Jain, Staff Writer

Hey howdy hey, it’s Sammy J! I’m currently a sophomore and this is my second year as an Opinion Columnist. At the beginning of the school year, I joined the digital section as a podcast host for The E-Town Gridiron. I write for the Evanstonian because I love covering local topics in detail, gathering opinions from fellow Wildkits, and offering humor through writing. In school, I am an actor, a member of the ETHS Student Union, and a mathlete for the ETHS Math Team. Outside of school, I love playing the guitar, walking along the lake, and watching baseball. Go Cubs!
