Addison Freund, a junior at AHS, is an Eye of the Needle broadcaster and runs the AHS Gameday Instagram account. Freund started taking journalism two years ago because “Mrs. Berryhill was a fun teacher” and upperclassmen talked about how much they enjoyed it. Last year, Freund wrote the story, “What Is Your Roman Empire?” Her favorite part of journalism is the opportunity to take pictures. She also enjoyed doing the “timeline projects.” Freund encourages underclassmen to be “outgoing” and to “make sure you try new things in class because that’s how you find what you like to do and you become good at it.” She looks forward to taking lots of pictures and filming funny bits on Eye Of the Needle. Outside of journalism, Freund likes to do sports photography, hang out with friends, and play sports. She currently plays basketball, volleyball, and runs and throws in track. She has played tennis before as well. Freund has hopes to go to college and major in sports media and marketing. She wants to become a social media manager for a pro sports team.
