William Smith High School
josh carter: William Smith is a fantastic school. I use to go there back in 2005-2006 as a 3rd year freshmen. if it wasn't for William smith i would have never made it past a freshmen. the only mistake i made that i wish i could take back was dropping out. It has taken me awhile to figure this out but we all make mistakes and learn from them. hope everything's going good there. If you worked there around that time id like to say hi its me peach hope your doing good. See you guys soon and oh im at collbran job core and im earning my high school diploma take care.
