Oprah is my hero. She
touches many lives by helping many people get back on their feet or whatever
they need.
Back in 2005 when
Hurricane Katrina hit, Oprah donated 10 million dollars, but she also went down
to New Orleans to see what everything was like down there for them and to
comfort the people and their families so they can feel better knowing someone
cares.
On
her talk show she helps people that need her help. She recognizes people that need to be recognized. In 1971 Oprah worked at a news
station in Baltimore. In 1984,
Oprah began her own morning show in Chicago; one month later it was a hit.
Oprah was born January
29,1954 in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Her grandmother raised her because when she
was born her parents separated. Later when she was six she moved to go live
with her mom. One year later her teenage cousin molested her. When she was 14
she decided to go and live with her father, who was very strict. If Oprah did
not learn three new vocabulary words a day her father would not let her eat for
several days.
Oprah does amazing
stuff for people, so she deserves thanks.
