William Barrett’s consistent hard work over the years has payed off! On Tuesday, May 27, 2008 William received his City College of San Francisco High School Diploma. Here is what William has to say of his achievement.

It was a great feeling. It was way beyond my imagination. It felt so great sitting up there and having accomplished what I had been working on for a long time. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it. I graduated high school. When I heard them call my name I couldn't hear anything else not the clapping or any of the sounds. I was like floating. It was like I was just floating across the floor. Wow.
