Week 7 : The People I Admire Most


I was recently asked to name an extraordinary people that I admire most. It took me awhile to come up with a name, but lastly I have made up my mind, and I chose Oprah Winfrey as my idol. There are few solid reasons why I love her. She is an attractive, intelligent woman with a heart of gold. She had been through many different obstacles in her entire life, but she manage to pick herself up every time and today she has become the inspiration of women everywhere. She is now a billionnaire, most admired woman in the world. :-bd

Her childhood was the worst time in her life. She used to wear dresses made of potato sacks. Her family was poor and she lived with her mother who was a single mother and both of them were struggled to survive. Sadly, at age 9, she was being raped by her own cousin, and uncle. And at age 14, she became pregnant and her baby boy died shortly after giving birth. And it could be a reason why til today she's still unmarried even though she has a boyfriend named Stedman Graham. :)
She became succesful because she owns a talk show, 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' which has runned nationally since September 8, 1986 and until today! In addition, her talk show is publishing all over the world. She is very generous, she loves to donate and do charity events. She would lend a hand to those who needed.O:-)   
She built a school in South Africa, The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in order to provide educational and leadership opportunities for African girls. Last but not least, she is a greatest lady and she will remain to be one of my idols. All her efforts and outcomes are appreciated by society. :)
