Oprah is a very influential person because of her path in life. Oprah started as a poor girl living with her godmother. She later moved in with her mother who was not very nice to her, she was raped by a cousin and abused for several years. Then she got sent to live with her father and her life turned around. She was in three pageants, winning two of them, she also got offered many jobs. Oprah got her own talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and magazine, O The Oprah Magazine. Oprah inspires us to dream. She teaches us that nothing is impossible, we just need to work hard and do our best. We can achieve anything we want to. We can be the one people look up to. All we have to do is try.
