Charity Williams , Fine Arts editor
Senior Charity Williams is the Fine Arts Editor in the journalism department. She digs up the behind-the-scenes information on both the school newscast “Eye of the Needle” and the school newspaper, AHSNeedle.com. Williams said she is “versatile” when it comes to journalism and she helps when anything is needed. Williams’ favorite story she has written over the course of her three years involved in journalism was the article “Poet to Lead Workshop at AHS.” This was Williams’ favorite because it was featured in a magazine principal Heather McKay sends to other districts. Her favorite aspect of journalism is independent writing. Williams likes this area of journalism because she is able to be self-reliant.
Besides being an editor as part of the Atlantic High School journalism team, Williams is part of the girls track team, the Trojan Guard, and the Speech Department. If that is not enough to keep her busy, she has twelve siblings at home. When asked who inspires her the most, she replied with her dad. “He is one of the nicest and most charismatic people I know. He would give you the shirt off his back,” Williams said.
The person who knows Williams the most is her best friend, senior Cora Zikuda. “We spend too much time together,” Williams said. The lock screen on Williams’ phone is of the pair at Homecoming.
One thing Williams would never change about herself is her personality. She described it as “blunt” and “truthful.” Williams likes this about herself, saying, “I say what’s on my mind. It’s needed at times.” Zikuda described Williams as “funny” and “crazy.”
