Oprah dropped in on Jordan High School students and DIRECTV employees Wednesday for a surprise visit during a school assembly. DIRECTV employees spent the day painting college-themed murals with students and mentoring as part of the Mayor's Partnership for LA Schools. Just as they were wrapping up their day, Oprah popped in to offer some words of inspiration.
