“I used to work as a lead carpenter on projects where I managed people, had control over what time they’d be able to spend with their kids and see their families. I didn’t enjoy interacting with people at that point in my life because the other workers were really the only people I would talk to — always trying to convince me to give them more time off — but since I started working as a maintenance technician I’ve been able to talk with people a lot more casually and have made some friends with business owners. Being able to talk with people about our lives has really made work more fun, and talking with people isn’t necessarily something I dread to do now.”
Atticus Dewey is a senior at Community High School and is more than excited to start his fourth year on The Communicator staff. This year, he is one of the four Print Editors-in-Chief, but believes that the entirety of the staff is more skilled than any other year prior.
His life outside of journalism is completely absorbed by one thing: water polo. While Atticus doesn't have any free-time because of it, he wouldn't have it any other way. While Atticus has felt stressed and like time has been flying by, he's grateful that he has three other wonderful editors to help him through the process.
