Chas Williams suffered a tragic setback when his mother died during his senior year of high school, which negatively impacted his academic motivation.
“That was my best friend, so I kind of didn’t want to do much of anything,” Williams told Bay News 9, regarding his mother’s death. “It was like school, family, none of that really mattered, it was just money and music.”
Williams eventually found LifeSkills of Pinellas County and decided to go back to school a year ago. Now he’s proud to be graduating with a high school diploma.
