Q&A with Auburn Senior Linebacker Travis Williams

Travis Williams

Q:  When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you “grew up?”
A:  “I wanted to be a lawyer.  Then I changed my mind and I wanted to be a fireman.  You know when you’re a kid you keep changing it.  So I wanted to be a lawyer, then a fireman, then a wrestler.”

Q:  If you had to eat the same meal everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A:  “Fried chicken with rice on the side.” 

Q:  What has motivated you to get involved in working with kids?
A:  “Just giving back.  Where I come from, a lot of kids don’t have the opportunities for someone to come talk to them, someone who’s been there.  I just like to give back because I love kids and doing it out of the kindness of my heart. Not because I have to.”

Q:  What’s more important, education or experience?
A:  “Education because that’s something nobody can take away from you. You can always get experience.”

Q:  What would you do on a “free” day, a day with no obligations?
A:  “Play video games all day.”

Q:  Which do you prefer the beach or the mountains?
A:  “The beach.”

Q:  What’s your favorite time of day?
A:  “Noon because it is lunch time.”

Q:  What makes you a leader?
A:  “Being a leader means going with what’s right, not who’s right.  It’s knowing that being a leader means a lot of folks won’t like what you do, but you’ll get respect.  Just knowing that being a leader you can lose a lot of friends, but you’ll also gain a lot of respect.”
