Aaron Thomas

Last week Aaron Thomas, the son of Ed Thomas, came and spoke to our school about knowing where you came from. He said that whenever he hears about Williamsburg he only hears good things and that we are a community with a lot of pride in our town, athletics, and our schools in general. He then asked us who thought they would live in Williamsburg their whole life and virtually no one put their hand up, then he asked who thought they would stay in Iowa this brought a few hands into the air, including mine, and then he asked who will move to a big city like New York or L.A. and this brought up the rest of the hands in the gym. He said no matter where we end up going we should make it a goal for us to take some of Williamsburg with us. This is all about remember where you are from no matter what and improving the other places we visit with that part of our community. This really made me think about how much this community means to me and how grateful I am to live in such a great place. So if I live in Williamsburg, somewhere else in Iowa, or move out of the state I am going to make it a goal of mine to take a piece of Williamsburg with me.
