OH OPRAH MY OPRAH!

     Dear Oprah Gail Winfrey,
I am writing to you just to let you know how much you inspire me. You are an actress, author, philanthropist, producer and the list just keeps going! I am in awe at who you've truly become in my life and dozens of people who look up to you. I just feel as though I should let you know I appreciate who you are and the knowledge and wealth that you give the world by just being you.

     Mrs Winfrey you have done it all. To do what you do, would simply be my dream job. You are a media mogul. To take a look at your wrap sheet of work is truly an inspiration. HARPO Productions gave me a few of my favorite movies such as "The Women of Brewster Place", "Beloved", and "Their Eyes Were Watching God". From Harpo Productions you have branched into Harpo Radio Inc., Harpo Print LLC, and Harpo Studios. These are amazing accomplishments, especially for a black woman of your time. We can often be underestimated and underappreciated but not you. You have broken the glass ceiling and you keep soaring. I cant even say how much I appreciate your presence on Earth.

    Although I am still young, and sit at the peak of what has yet to become of my future I always say to myself "What would Oprah do?". Being at a community college most would think the worst of it (especially my work ethic because some stereotypes would be people in community college did poor or dropped out of high school) but its untrue! Just last year you were honored with a doctorate degree from Harvard, how amazing is that??? Especially at 59, I hope that will be me. You came from poverty and had nothing and I noticed while you were still in high school you got a job in radio and by the time you were nineteen you had began co-anchoring for a local-evening news station. Obviously now its a little more difficult to just get a job at a radio station. I have tried, and a lot of radio stations ask for juniors or college graduates as interns. But these qualifications that they ask for will not keep me down! The only way to get into the career that I am focused on is to volunteer my time and put myself out there. I have established what I want to do and what I need to do if I want to meet my "Oprah Goals". These goals are to be an established African-American woman with a voice that reaches everyone at the same level, doing what I love to do most... and being a billionaire...

AN ODE TO OPRAH

Oprah you are an inspiration.

Your words are warming, touching, and are able enough to reach this entire nation.

I can never quit because you never quit despite your devastations.

Yes, Oprah Winfrey you are my inspiration.

Some could say they do look up to you,

but can they say whenever they are in a bad mood...

they ask themselves "What would Oprah do?"

Oh Oprah! My Oprah!

How is it even possible that you do those amazing things that you do?

I hope that some day I can grow up and be you, 

so some young woman my age now can say the same things that I do about you.
