15-year old sophomore Chazney Williams is currently in her first year of journalism and working as a staff writer. Williams was born in Ash and went to Jessie Mae for elementary school but switched to Lincoln elementary school because her mom worked as a teacher and teacher assistant for first grade and for second then went back to Jessie Mae elementary. 

After high school, She has plans of going to college to study dentistry and get her bachelor’s degree.

“I want to be a dental hygienist, because I have always loved going to the dentist and getting my teeth cleaned. Another reason is ever since I was little I’ve always gotten asked ‘have you ever had braces?’ I like the idea of the job and they pay pretty well so why not?” said Williams.

 Williams hobbies consist of drawing, dancing and also reading. In middle school she cheered, ran track and participated in the high jump. She tried volleyball but it didn’t stick. She played softball. She said it was a great stress reliever but she couldn’t do lacrosse and softball so she had to choose. She chose lacrosse because the girls were more friendly and it demanded more from her physically. Her tenth grade year she made the dance team and planned to keep doing that until she graduates. Williams would love to get a full ride scholarship that pays for her college experience to help out with her mom.

“Writing has never been something I’ve really wanted to do,” said Williams. “But I can’t not do things I dislike all my life. So this year I really want to push myself out of my comfort zone to prepare myself for college.”
