WORDS TO LIVE BY

“To the world you may just be one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Williams’ volunteers at the school’s cheerleading camp in a weeklong clinic for younger kids and where they’re taught cheers and dances followed by a performance for the parents. She’s volunteered at Immaculate Heart of Mary’s Journey Days; picking up litter around the area and helps organize the recyclables; and with Open Door Gang Youth Alternative. Williams said: “I want to leave this world leaving it better. Everyone is put into this world for a reason. You can help make it better event if it is just one person.”

IF I COULD IMPROVE THE WORLD . . .

“I would become a doctor and set up clinics to not only help less fortunate people, but teach less fortunate people so that they have the opportunity to become a doctor just like I want to be.”
