Will.I.Am of the supergroup The Black Eyed Peas is one of the most talented musicians of this century. He's pumped out mega-hits for his own band and produced countless other radio favorites, but unlike many celebrity superstars, he has another mission – to give back and help people way less fortunate than him.
In 2009, Oprah Winfrey had Will.I.Am on her show for a very special announcement. Will chose four low-income, hardworking kids who wanted to go, but could not afford the basics to go to college, to invest in their future.
Will would pay for everything – tuition, room, board, books. All the boys had to do was work hard and make him proud. Recently, Oprah caught up with the guys to see where they were at. It's not unusual for one out of four kids to fall behind, but not in this crowd. All of the guys, known as the "Will.I.Am Scholars" were making Will proud in their own way.
This video completely touched my heart. Hopefully, more celebrities and rich people will follow suit and help future generations get a great education.
