Essay- Princess Diana
It’s not just children who have an influential role models… Some of the world’s most famous philanthropists were influenced by all sorts of people. Princess Diana, for example, was not influenced by just one person or one thing, but something much larger than that. I guess you could even say, part of her cause influenced her to help not only her country, but the world.
The question swarming around one’s brain, is what is this big influence? Diana traveled the world seeing amazing sites, poverty, all the wonders of the world were at her fingertips. When looking at those topics, the only negative seems to be, poverty.
There are many children all over the world today in poverty. While visiting the world at its best, Di also saw it at its worst. While working on the AIDS project, Diana took the time to visit children hospitalized and on the streets with this disease. While the princess saw this as a problem, she also saw it as a cause. Diana saw it as a drive to get these poverned child the help and life they deserve. Children she saw fighting starvation and grasping and clinging to the thread of life in third world countries, her drive to help the world’s children only grew stronger. Living the life of servants and estates, as she
did, a life in poverty seemed like one of the heaviest weights a child would ever have to carry. Even in all their pain, the kindred spirits of the homeless, smiled with the biggest of grins when shaking the royal hands. Seeing the poor at their best when suffering through their worst showed Diana that a simple smile, some help, and feeling like someone cared for them was the best present they could get in life. Diana really saw kids with the bare minimum make the best of what they had, that was one of the main reasons Princess Di was so influenced. We thank those kids for influencing a real world hero, who took her power for better.
