Ray Rice is a professional football player from New Rochelle, New York. Rice's early life is a tragic story. With four kids to raise, Ray's mother Janet worked diligently as a special education teacher in the New York public School system.http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/18/sports/ncaafootball/18rutgers.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&fta=y He lost his father to a shooting when he was just a year old, and again lost a father figure when his cousin was killed in a car accident. When Rice needs a break, he still heads back to New Rochelle, to sit in on his mother's class and give her a hand with the kids. “That’s what I like to do when I’m home for break... Mainly, I just want to have fun with the kids and let them know how special they are.”http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/18/sports/ncaafootball/18rutgers.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&fta=y He also gives motivational speeches at schools around New Rochelle.
