In his new book entitled Giving, President Bill Clinton writes of his visit to the Andre Agassi College Preparatory, an academy that helps Las Vegas kids at risk, with their education.When Clinton asked Agassi how creating the school compared with winning a tennis tournament, the former world champ said:
“Tennis was a stepping-stone for me. It gave me the chance to do this. Changing a child’s life is what I always wanted to do. Winning a tennis tournament doesn’t compare to the anticipation of what these kids will do with their lives.”
