One of the people who I think is really inspirational (and someone I truly admire) is Oprah Winfrey. Whether you love her or hate her, you have to admit that she turned a really horrible situation into a fantastic situation, and that's something that we should all admire.
When she was younger, she was both sexually and physically abused. But unlike a lot of people in this situation, she turned these negatives into positives to try and change the world to make it a better place.
I think it's fantastic that she is a great representation of someone from a minority group which have previously (or maybe even still, in some minds) been opressed. It just goes to show that when you put your mind to something, you can achieve anything.
Some of the great work she has done is to highlight causes where people who may have felt alone previously, don't feel as alone when they find someone who is a guest on their show who has been (or still is) in a similar situation to theirs. These include segments on health, spirituality, personal development, money, raising awareness about abuse and paedophilia, etc. I think it's amazing in the paedophile segment that they actually managed to catch people who had a long history of sexual abuse. So it just goes to show that when people all work together for a common goal, we can all achieve something great! |
