Rapper Lil Jon and former pro-football player Lewis Howes say they don't know where they'd be without their teachers.
For many millennials, it’s hard to imagine a childhood without the boomings beats and unforgettable rhymes of Lil Jon’s hit songs like “Get Low” and “Turn Down for What.” Well, according to the rapper, you can thank his music teacher for the iconic infectious throwbacks — and his long, illustrious career in the music industry.
As teachers leave the classroom for good for these reasons and more, celebrities and education advocates reflect on the teachers that they say helped them get to where they are today. Former professional football player Lewis Howes, who serves on the education non-profit’s advisory board, reveals he almost flunked out of high school English. But thanks to the encouragement and dedication of one of his high school teachers, Howes would go on to play Arena Football, write a New York Times best-selling book and build a multi-million dollar online media company.
“I still remember my first teacher, Mrs. Gurrera — I would not be where I'm at today had it not been her investment in my growth and just enabling me to thrive daily,” Ramos tells Yahoo Lifestyle. For this reason, Ramos says it’s “horrific” to see so many teachers in the U.S unsupported and under-resourced.
Driven by the belief that students will perform better if classrooms are led by enthusiastic, inspired and well-trained teachers, the non-profit’s work also includes a teacher support program to provide educators with training, mentors and resources.
