toc =Biography=

 Oprah Gail Winfrey was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, United States, on January 29th, 1954. When she was born her parents called her "Orpah" this is from the Bible, in the Book of Ruth. However, her parents did not know how to pronounce this name so they called her "Oprah".   Now she lives in America. She was born to young parents who weren’t married, her mother was 19 years old and her father was 21 years old.  She grew up with her aunt and all the time she dreamed to get out of her terrible situation and to develop and realize herself.   Oprah works in the media where she is a T.V. host. Her shows are a big success and she even owns some TV channels. She started out as a successful News broadcaster in a local TV station in Nashville and she tries today, through her many shows to help others.  When she started, It was always her dream to stand and speak to others. She always wanted to play as a radio host, and her grandmother pushed her to speak out and believe in her self.   She had a very hard life. As you know, she grew up in a poor home, and suffered sexual abuse from family and friends as early as the age of nine. She could have been a total failure, as her mother was.   Oprah was very lucky. Her father, though he was tough, pushed her to continue her studies. Oprah's grandmother believed in her. She was also able to push herself up, despite all the poverty and the problems. Children who can succeed need to be special. They need to overcome the objective difficulty and the natural depression from the situation.   Therefore, she decided to succeed. It is true, she chose not to be a mother, as Oprah wasn't mothered either. Yet, she thought it is very important to give others hope. If someone can get help, she wanted to try and help them, so that was the purpose of her shows.   Therefore, Oprah loved her job. For her, she enjoy it so much, it was like a hobby. She thought that they should ask her to pay for working, and not pay her for it.  <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> Oprah tried to be empathetic and listen to people's needs. People claimed that she has created a new kind of confessional where people can share their problems. The beauty of her programs is that she doesn't try to solve all the problems. Oprah listens to what is important. She tries to get people who can help others out, to get in touch with those that need it. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> In addition, Oprah tried, over the years to open up the mainstream to people who society rejected. Some say she broke the taboo on LGBT (homo lesbians) people by introducing them in her programs. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> Oprah has had the pleasure of hosting 25 seasons and this is the last, finally. She thinks it is enough. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> Oprah definitely has learned to listen. She is a woman, and she cares, as she been there. Maybe that's what's special about her. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> She claims that she supported Barack Obama because her life story taught her that it so difficult to succeed when you look different, yet, Barack Obama managed to do this and she's full of appreciation for him. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> She hopes she symbolizes a success story. She is a woman, she is rich, she is the first rich African American and she helps others. She hopes this causes others to feel good about them selves or to have the power to make the changes so that they can succeed. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> During the show, and over all this time, she met many people from all kinds of populations and she spoke with very interesting people about all kinds of things in the world. She has tasted from many different pools of knowledge and has become curious about different topics that interest all humanity. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> Oprah thinks this is important to bring these issues to peoples' awareness so that we can all make the world better. We are so sad because she is ending her 25 year TV show, because this program is like her own child and has been her pride for so long. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; unicode-bidi: embed;"> <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; unicode-bidi: embed;"> Yet, people only know her as Oprah from the show, and she wants to explore her other talents, and do other things. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; unicode-bidi: embed;"> <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; unicode-bidi: embed;"> Sadly, she is closing a chapter, and hopefully, opening a fresh one, so it won't be goodbye for long. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; unicode-bidi: embed;"> People can continue her way. Look for important issues. See the beauty in every story, and try to help those who are less fortunate than yourselves.

= Speech =

Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement. I have a something very tragicto tell you: after the 25 Seasons in which I have had so many fulfilling experiences where you trusted me, **I** ** decided ** that I need to leave the program. During the show, and over all this time, I met many people from all kinds of populations and I spoke with very interesting people about all kinds of things in the world. I have tasted from many different pools of knowledge  and have become curious about different topics that interest all humanity. I think this is important to bring these issues to peoples' awareness so that we can to make the world better. I am so sad because to be leaving, because this program is like my child and has been my hobby for so long. Yet, people only know me as Oprah from the show, and I want to explore my other talents, and do other things. Sad, as I feel, I am closing a chapter, and hopefully, opening a fresh one, so it won't be goodbye for long. You ladies and gentlemen can continue my way. Look for important issues. See the beauty in every story, and try to help those who are less fortunate than you. I love you all Oprah

=Rationale=

<span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> We chose to write about Oprah Winfrey because we wanted to research an excited warm and updated person who is still active and always wants to change the world for the better. Oprah seems like a natural choice, since she not only follows what's happening in the world, but in a way, she is making it happen. She listens to the people, she tries to make their life easier and she gets others to help them along. In our eyes, this is a special person.
