SAN ANTONIO -- Thanksgiving is a time when it seems everyone is traveling to be with family. But one young man has come halfway around the world to find a home, a family, and a future.
 
Alex Ntagawa is a 17-year-old student at Lee High School. He is also a member of the school's cross country team.  Running was a way of life for Alex growing up in the Congo. But tribal wars forced Alex and his family to leave the Congo and seek refuge in the United States.
