LeBron James, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, is making a great impact in his community through his all new “I Promise” school. Besides being a tremendous athlete, LeBron is very compassionate, and caring toward his home community of Akron, Ohio. His new school is a non profit that will help many kids in poverty graduate high school. The school also offers students who graduate tuition to attend the University of Akron. This picture below was posted on LeBron’s instagram.
This school will have a great impact on the community in LeBron’s hometown and help improve many teenager’s futures. By offering free tuition, uniforms, and even job placement services for student’s parents, LeBron is changing and improving his community. Unlike other athletes, he has been able to stay out of trouble and positively impact society. This is why he is one of my role models and a true entrepreneur.
This is a great example of an entrepreneur creating something to help people in need. Lebron has walked the same road that the kids and knows the problems that they deal with day to day. Lebron’s school will help to solve those problems and make the lives of the kids better. Lebron created something that is helping to make the world a better place.
