HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -
Avery Williams loves to learn, so much so that it is sometimes hard for this
11-year-old to decide which class she enjoys most.
"I love all of them, but science is really fascinating," said
Williams.
The mayor recently found her science project fascinating. The Columbia
Elementary fifth grader received special recognition from the mayor's office
for her science fair presentation on biomass energy.
"I tested three different plants and saw which one produced the most
biomass," said Williams.
It is no surprise Avery makes A's in science. She makes them in all of her
other classes as well.
"Avery is a wonderful student. She is the type of student that when you
ask her to do an assignment, she doesn't just do the assignment; she goes above
and beyond what is asked of her," said teacher Laura Stults.
Speaking of above and beyond, we found that she does just that in her sketch
pad. She is quite an artist. In fact, you've probably seen her work at the
Panoply Arts Festival. It is on display every year.
However, while she enjoys art, she loves the art of acting.
"I just love how you can be so many different people," said
Williams.
Avery has been acting for years in plays such as "Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory" and "Bugsy Malone". She wants to be an actress
when she grows up, and said she wants to be as good as Johnny Depp.
"He can just fit into any background. It's crazy," said Williams.
While acting is her ultimate goal, she also knows how important her
education and her other extracurricular activities are.
"I want to be an actress, but what if that doesn't work out? I can take
up another thing and the things I've done now can help with that," said
Williams.
For being a "star" on the stage and off, Avery Williams is a WAFF
48 Star Student.
