Zandrea Williams:  

OM HOME. I TRANSFERRED FROM FORT VALLEY TO GEORGIA STATE MY SOPHOMORE YEAR. MY FRESHMEN DAYS WERE NOT THE AVERAGE COLLEGE STUDENTS FRESHMAN DAYS. I SPENT EVERY WEEKEND WITH ANTHONY AND ALL WEEK WAITING FOR THE WEEKEND TO COME. I WAS MUCH HAPPIER AT GEORGIA STATE. Workplace I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO THE OPPORTUNITY NOT TO WORK. I HAVE HAD ONE JOB SINCE I LEFT FORT VALLEY. THAT WAS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE. I LEARNED SO MUCH WHILE WORKING WITH MY CASELOAD OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS. THIS JOB HAD INSPIRED ME TO GET MY MASTERS DEGREE IN PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING IN ADDITION TO GOING TO LAW SCHOOL. CHILDREN ARE A GIFT AND SO MANY OF THEM ARE NOT CARED FOR. THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE CARES AND I AM DEDICATED TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR THE YOUTH THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM. CHILDREN ARE THE WORLD'S SUCCESS TOOL FOR TOMORROW.
