Items related to From Thug to Scholar: An Odyssey to Unmask My True...
This is a journey through my life where being intelligent and following the didactic spiritual teachings of my parents got me laughed at and teased until I adopted and embraced a thug mentality. I became a prisoner of my mind by seeking to please and to gain acceptance from others. Chasing a masked lifestyle that was opposed to my God-given potential, I was no different from the millions of people who chase materialistic things, lifestyles, and religions to please their parents, friends, or partners. Most of these people wake up unhappy, unfulfilled, and unable to identify the person reflecting back in their bathroom mirror. I was that person for many years, but I transformed and this book will inspire you to transform and unmask your true potential. Life lessons and fascinating journeys will be shared to demonstrate how I unmasked and went from a thug to a scholar.

Review:
"From Thug to Scholar is the true account of James Williams's journey in life, the process of losing the mask he wore to fit in with the crowd and becoming a role model for young people of all races. Read it and be inspired." Linda Jacobs, Spur Finalist and WILLA Award winning author of Jackson Hole Journey.
"Not only does Dr. James Williams present a compelling story about the struggles and triumphs of his life; but interwoven, amidst every page, are life-principles destined to positively impact every generation. This book should be in the hands of every person who has a dream...and is dogmatic enough to do what it takes, to make those dreams come true!"
-Savaslas A. Lofton, author "At a Mirror's Glance" novel
James excelled in our doctoral program at ISU. He was the leader of our graduate students. We're thrilled to see his career flourish, and I am sure the students at James Madison appreciate him. His life story is one that opens your eyes to the resilience of the human spirit. He is a role model for young men and women who find themselves searching for a direction.
