“He has a wonderful imagination and a fantastic sense of humor,” his teacher added. “He tries his best every day to be a hard worker and a good friend to his peers. Kingston is a pleasure to have in my class!”

Willis loves singing songs with his friends and playing with toy cars. He most enjoys “learning about tornadoes” and how firefighters work at the fire station.

Outside of school, Willis enjoys playing with his friends and family. He said his mother motivates him to try his best every day.

Given his fascination with first responders, it’s no surprise that he wants to one day become a police officer. His teachers and loved ones believe he can do anything he sets his mind to.
