A Wichita man has gone from living on the streets to earning a college diploma.
But his latest accomplishment is just the beginning of his journey.
Ernest Robinson became homeless after what he calls a dark time in his life. But after three years of bouncing from one shelter to another he started saving up money to get off the streets.
Ernest started out as a laundry volunteer at the Open Door Shelter and was a representative for the Wichita Police Homeless Outreach Team.
He says it was because of the encouragement of WPD officer Nate Schwiethale, he started thinking about his future.
