Hello everyone, my name is William and I am a senior this year. In school I am involved in student council and play soccer for Lawrence High. In my free time I like to watch sitcoms, learn about history, and play with my dog. If you need a pocket constitution, I have five of them in my backpack. Contact me at [email protected].
