Many people who come from adversity have to fight harder than anybody else to achieve success in any vocation. However, there are people who support them at one point or another, becoming a part of their wonderful journey. Venus Williams is one player who had to fight through a lot in her life to become a great player. But she did not forget all the people who helped her reach that point. In 2017,  she visited her childhood teacher to show her gratitude.

Venus Williams surprises old teacher

Venus Williams is someone who has gone through tough times in her life. But she has received help from many in her journey to become a legendary tennis player. Her father, Richard Williams, fought for her throughout her life to ensure she goes on to become successful in the sport. He has even protected her from interviews that were questionable.

Another person who supported Queen V in her childhood was her teacher. In 2017, Williams surprised her childhood teacher, Judy Vellegas, with a visit to her Kindergarten. The reunion between the two was quite emotional. Vellegas also introduced Williams to the class. She also showed Queen V her class picture from when she attended Kindergarten. Vellegas also told the seven-time grand slam champion to be proud of herself.

“We had to make file on all of our students, and I felt like I’ve gotta save this and I wanna see where this kid goes and you’ve gone so far. Be proud of yourself,” said Vellegas to Williams.
