Paris Thomas believed that he was going to live and die in Tuskegee, Alabama. His brother died when he was only 18 years old, and when Paris was 6, his father was sent to prison. At this time he was homeless. His mother would do what she could to get food for them, but other than that, they had the clothes on their backs, each other, and a car. Eventually his mother found a job and they were able to get a home. When he was 14, two white guys came knocking at the door. Paris wasn’t interested in what they had to say, but they said, ""If you want to know if this is true then you need to ask God. So he did ask God if it was true, and he got a feeling of love, joy, and peace that he had never had before. It brought a clarity to his life and a belief that there is a plan for him. He likes to think that he is better than his circumstances and his circumstances have only made him a better person. Paris hopes to be an inspiration to those going through similar things. Paris has been homeless, has been a high school dropout, is now attending school, dominates at ping-pong, and is a Mormon.
