A lesson I’ve learned throughout the
Recently, one of my favorite rappers, Big Sean, who is
signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. label, took over a high school in his hometown
of Detroit, MI and became “Celebrity Principal for a Day.” The school, Bates Academy, had a lot of happy
students on Thursday, June 12.
One of the activities Big Sean engaged in while principal
for a day was recognizing students who had improved their attendance and who
had won other school challenges. According to The
Source, Big Sean expressed his thoughts on the experience, “It’s
just cool to come back and just see the kids so excited and it all be for a
good cause.” The
students greeted him with signs and a cheer dedicated to the rapper. Big Sean
also freestyled for the students, showing off his rap skills.
At one point during his time as
principal, Big Sean, along with TV personality Sway, conducted a Q&A
session with the students. One student asked about the best way to study and
Big Sean answered with this hilarious advice,
“The best way to study is with your homies. If you got some dumb
friends, don’t study with them.” How can you argue with that logic?
Rap-Up
mentions that this is not the first time that Big Sean has served as “Principal
for a Day.” He surprised
students in 2012 at Lincoln High School, located in Detroit as well.
Big Sean founded a charity in 2012
called the Sean Anderson
Foundation. The foundation is based out of Detroit as well and ran by his
mother, who accompanied him to Bates Academy. The foundation’s priority is to
assist with disadvantaged youth. I have a lot of respect and love for Big Sean
and I look forward to his next event!
