"AKRON, Ohio -- LeBron James drove down the streets he grew up on Monday afternoon and parked his vehicle outside the I Promise School that he helped build before roaming the halls for the first time.
The Akron native's LeBron James Family Foundation partnered with the Akron Public Schools system to create the learning center, which opened its doors for the first time to 240 third- and fourth-grade students who enrolled in the full-immersion program to benefit at-risk youth.
The plan is to add more grades as the years go on, filling out the refurbished structure in downtown Akron with students who will see the virtues of the school -- "I will work hard," "I will never give up," etc. -- emblazoned on the walls every time they walk through the impressive rotunda-like entrance.
While James already declared the school project the most meaningful accomplishment of his career, considering he missed 80-plus school days when he was a fourth-grader because of his unstable home life, the occasion comes less than a month after he announced his decision to play for the Los Angeles Lakers and make a new home out West."
