"Those are the years when you can become anything you want," says international pop sensation Jay Sean in regards to the importance of those pivotal years teenagers spend in high school.
Get Schooled, an organization driven to improve the graduation rates of high schoolers all around the country, and Power106 LA put together a pep rally to congratulate the students of Santee High School for their increased attendance over the past two years. What the students didn't know was that Get Schooled and Power had a bit of a surprise up their sleeves...Jay Sean! And I was fortunate to join him with my friend Mando Fresko as he donated $10,000 worth of computer equipment to the students of Santee High!
It's really inspiring to me when I see an artist who's achieved great success give back to the community. I truly believe that we all have a social responsibility (especially if there are folks who look up to us) and this isn't Jay's first altruistic deed! He works with Keep a Child Alive (founded by Alicia Keys) and for his birthday he asked people to donate to charity instead of giving him gifts. The gift itself is giving and that doesn't only brighten one person's life...it touches so many more!
If you drop a pebble in a pond, ripples cross the entire pond. See the joy of giving back and drop that pebble...your ripples will reach beyond your own imagination!
