In the movie, ‘King Richard’, we saw the early childhood of Venus Williams and her younger sister, Serena Williams. They both grew up in the small city of Compton. Their journey from Compton to becoming one of the greats in women’s tennis is truly inspiring for many. Recently, Venus and her older sister, Isha Price, visited the Mark Twain Elementary School in Compton. From there, she revealed some of her childhood memories.

Venus Williams talks about her childhood in the Compton Elementary School

Earlier, Venus posted a video on her YouTube channel, where she and her sister Isha visited their childhood school in Compton. In that video, they talked about all the stuff they did when they were studying in this school. Interestingly, Serena didn’t go to the same school as Venus, according to the 7-time Grand Slam champion. 

“So now, we are walking into the school and this is how we would come into school in the mornings. I loved school, I was such a nerd. And Serena wasn’t actually going to the same school because the school districts changed and she’s just crying when they dropped her off at another school. My dad managed to or my mom, both of them managed to get her in,” Venus revealed.
