The Person I Admire The Most “Oprah Winfrey”

As a young child, I have had the pleasure of being exposed to

many great people such as Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Jackie
Kennedy, all who have made a great impression my life;
however, none of those individuals have left an impression on
my life as Oprah Winfrey has.   Oprah Winfrey is a person I
admire and have admiration for, for she had determination to be
great, very informative, and is a humanitarian to the world; these
are all the qualities that I admire in her, and I wish one day to
have these qualities and follow in her footsteps.
Oprah Winfrey was born in a small town in Mississippi in 1954
and raised in Nashville,Tennesse.Oprah Winfrey has always had
determination to be great even as a child.As A young child,she
was molested and often stayed in trouble.However,she
overcomes this issue and graduated from highschool and
attended Tennesse State University where she majored in drama
and speech.While attending college,she started her broadcasting
career working for a local CBS station.In addition,she was the
first African-American woman and the youngest person to
accomplish this,but Oprah had the determination to be
bigger,and her determination paid off in 1986.She got her own
televisyen show that still on televisyen today “The Oprah
Winfrey Show”.”The Oprah Winfrey Show” was and still is the
highest-ranking televisyen show on the air.
Oprah is a very informative person.She let the world know about
issue that was not talked about on televisyen.Oprah let people
know about the dangers of drug usage,homosexual
relationships,eating disorders,and her very own personal
struggles.In addition,she let the world know about the existence
of mad cow disease.However,she was sued by cattle farmers but
she was acquitted of all charges.Also she let the world know
bout the epidemic of AIDS that was plaguing the world.Oprah
talked about many issues that really educated people.
From her philanthrophic efforts to the inspirational and
educational mature of her shows to her book club to her Live
Your Best Life program,it’s dear that Oprah is all about two
things: living a great life of yourself and making difference in
the world.She seems to have mastered both.
Her show has influenced many to change their lives and help
each others out.Abraham Lincoln once said,”I am a slower
walker,but I never walk backwords”.This quote of perseverance
describes her life.Oprah Winfrey is the person I admire the most
and I’m proud to say that.
