ABC News Videos | ABC Entertainment News
On a sunny Southern California Saturday, 23-year-old Kenneth Chancey donned a cap and gown and was handed his degree as he crossed the Loyola Marymount University stage.
But the road to get there wasn’t as picture-perfect.
When he was 11, Chancey lived on the streets. When he was 14 and 15, and transitioning out of foster care, he says he was forced to sleep on Los Angeles city buses.

5 of the Most Disappointing Moments of ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’
1. The Ratio of Comedy to Action (Pacing)
One of the reasons why I’m such a Joss Whedon fan is because I appreciate how he can flawlessly incorporate humor, usually in the form of witty dialogue, with drama and action. And Age of Ultron is hilarious. You really can’t beat the humor in this one. I think it even surpassed its predecessor, which had many great moments on its own.
