The Grammy award winner RnB singer Usher has a 7-year-old photo of himself and he gave it to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Billboard was unveiled on April 29, 2009 in Atlanta. Usher was there together with his mother and they are hoping that this cute image of the 7-year-old kid who turned out to be one of the pop sensations of today will raise awareness to the youth and be inspired by him.

The billboard will help raise awareness needed by the club and this is because Usher credits the club to have made such a big difference in his life. There are other artists who also have their childhood billboards with the likes as Martin Sheen, Denzel Washington, Shaq O’Neal and many more. The president of the Boys & Girls Club of America hopes that the effort put up by these artists would also spark even more alumni to contribute and act as role models.

Just so you know, Usher was a member of the club in his home town in Tennessee for 4 years and those 4 years had made such an impact on him and he hopes that the club would get to impact many more young lives.

Usher also said that if you want to be great it doesn’t start at the later moments of your life. You may be talking to tomorrow’s Michael Jordan, Barack Obama or even Usher now in these little kids
