woman in
America. She is also notorious in many parts of the world. Despite her success and glory, she had a terrible past, such as an abusive upbringing. She would not reach to the top without her strength of character, perseverance and optimism.
Oprah Winfrey has always had determination to be great even as a child. As a young child, she was often stayed in trouble; however she overcame these issues and graduated from high school and attended Tennessee State University where she majored in speech and drama. While attending college, she started her broadcasting career working for a local CBS station. In 1986, she got her own television show
“The Oprah Winfrey Show”. It is still the highest-ranking television show on the air. Oprah Winfrey is very idealistic and is frequently disappointed because she did not always have the most perfect life; she had to overcome some very strong obstacles in life.
As a young age, her parents divorced and sent her to live with her grandmother. One day, she was sexually abused by a relative at the age of nine and had suffered the anguish and loneliness of not being loved by her mother. At the age of 14, she gave birth to a premature baby who died shortly after birth. An event of this nature can destroy the entire life of a person. Finally she never give up her life and keep trying the best of her life. Overall, Oprah Winfrey is a good role model for us. She is educated, brave
and influential. Nothing is easy from the start; we always have to try having a role model like
Oprah might give strength to many people and motivated to try harder to succeed in life.
