Hi! My name is Sitota Mesfin, and this is my first year on the Oakton Outlook. I am a freshman and am very excited to be part of this community. I prefer writing about Oakton news, but I'm open to all prospects. I like to read in my free time, and have a love for chocolate. I am looking forward to my first year as a staff writer, and I can’t wait for all the new things I will discover.
