Daequan Williams
Daequan Williams is a 17 year old 12th grader. He’s applied and was accepted into West Chester. That’s where he plans to go. Daequan seems to be your average high school teen, and in a lot of ways he is. He’s a cook. He makes Hamburger Helper, and spaghetti. He learned to cook by watching his mom and sister who cooks sometimes. He’s also the oldest of five siblings.
His reasons for going to college are not just to get ahead but to simply “get out”. He started at Abington Sr. High. After that he transferred to Germantown, and recently he transferred to Roxborough High. “As soon as you get to high school, don’t get lower than a B or high C.”
