Living the dream

Alferd Williams is 69 years old and living the answer to his mother’s prayer that he would one day learn to read. About five-foot-four, this white-haired African-American man is a soft-spoken angel who has fallen into St. Joseph NEA member Alesia Hamilton’s classroom.

“If you go to church as much as I do, you know that they say the Lord says this and the Lord says that,” Williams says. “I don’t now what the Lord says. I just hear what everyone says He says, and I want to read it for myself. I belong here. My mama prayed for this, and here I am.”

One of nine children, Williams spent his childhood helping his family farm cotton in rural Tennessee. His mother taught him to count, a necessary skill in harvesting cotton, but she did not know how to read. School was a luxury. She prayed her son would someday have that opportunity.

Today, Williams attends first grade at Edison Elementary School in St. Joseph. Officially a volunteer, Williams helps others learn while he is a full participant in class. With the first-grade children, he models the teaching techniques Hamilton has been using to teach him.

“Our first-grade friends love Alferd coming in each day,” Hamilton says. “It’s funny. They don’t treat him like an adult. They treat him as one of their own. They know that he’s learning just like they are, and they help him just like he helps them. He does everything in first grade that our six and seven year olds do. He keeps a reading log, and he has a book basket and a writing folder. He is a first grader.”
