Where Are They Now<br />
Honoree Year: 2012<br />
Nailah Williams<br />
I am a graduate of Beaufort High School who was able to go on to attend<br />
Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) where I earned a<br />
B.S. degree in Animal Science and minor in Agri-Business. I would like to<br />
thank you all for the help and encouragement that I got during one of the<br />
biggest milestones of my life. While attending FAMU I was actively involved<br />
on campus joining a faith-based community service organization named<br />
Eternal Legendary Queens which I also held the position of President, was<br />
one of the founding members of HOSA (Health Occupations Students of<br />
America) chapter at FAMU, a member of MANNRS (Minorities in Agriculture<br />
& Natural Resources & Related Sciences, and FAMU/FSU Animal Science<br />
Club. I have such a passion for animals with an ultimate goal of becoming<br />
a federal veterinarian officer. I have recently been accepted into the<br />
University of Florida’s Antimicrobial Resistance Research Program with the<br />
North Florida Research and Education Center. I also plan to apply to North<br />
Carolina A&T’s Master of Public Health with a focus on Veterinary Medicine<br />
in the Fall of 2018. Thank you again for your contribution to my academic<br />
success . . .<br />

Kristin Wills<br />
I was accepted to North Carolina Central University School of Law and<br />
started my journey in August 2014. I moved to Durham, N.C. holding onto<br />
my Faith in God and that I was just a glimpse away from my dream. During<br />
my Road to Justice, there were many, many Champions that I cannot<br />
even name them all and some who I do not know, however, I would like to<br />
thank God for giving me the desires of my heart, my parents, Matthew &<br />
Angie Wills, my sister Cierra, and my grandmother Madeline Barnhill (GiGi)<br />
for their love and support. I would also like to thank Janie Whitney & AB<br />
Whitfield with the Trey Whitfield Foundation for believing in me and my<br />
dream and planting the Seed of Hope. Finally, I would also like to thank<br />
Ms. Barbara Jean Lee for being my #1 Champion and for advancing my<br />
Dream of becoming an Attorney at age 24. On May 13, <strong>2017</strong>, I graduated<br />
with my Juris Doctor and will take the North Carolina Bar in July, <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
Please continue to keep me in prayer. I am truly honored to have been<br />
a recipient of the Trey Whitfield Foundation Scholarship. Today, I become<br />
the Champion for many Youth who aspire to follow their Dream and the<br />
<strong>2017</strong> recipients of the Trey Whitfield Foundation Scholarship. I encourage<br />
you to never let the Dream die, keep it alive in your heart no matter how<br />
difficult it may seem. The reward is in Journey and not the Destination . . .<br />
