James Ward: From Homeless to Howard

In a world where reality TV rules, twerking is now a verb, and the first crowned Indian American Ms. America can still be a victim of extreme hate and racism, there is also a world where a feel good story can still exist due to the will of one and the kindness of many. I love a good story about triumph and overcoming adversity. Take a look at this unbelievable story of triumph. James Ward came to meet Ellen and told her how he was able to overcome adversity and get into college. This young man, James is the personification of one of my favorite quotes. “You don’t have to be a product of your environment. Be a product that changes or influences your environment.”https://youtu.be/dB3p6DJ035g
