About Oprah Winfrey

     There are many things about Oprah Winfrey. For one thing Oprah Winfrey is a very honest person. In fact she has even won many beauty pageants because of her honesty. According to my book called Oprah Winfrey Entertainer, Producer, and Businesswoman it states, "During the pageant, each contestant was asked what she wanted to do with her life. Many said they wanted to raise families or become teachers. Oprah had often considered becoming a fourth-grade teacher because she so admired her own fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Duncan. When she was asked the question, she suddenly remembered watching journalist Barbara Walters on the Today show. Oprah answered 'I believe in truth. And I want to perpetuate the truth. So I want to be a journalist.' Oprah impressed the judges, and she became one of the free finalists." This explains how Oprah has won many beauty pageants. This was one pageant she won and she continued to win more because of her honesty. Oprah only told the truth even in her talk shows. 

     Another thing about Oprah Winfrey is that she is very rich. She has always set goals for herself and tried to achieve them. She wanted to be a millionaire in her 30's which she did in fact achieve. According to my book it states, "They loved listening to her interviews with her interesting guests. They appreciated her honesty and sense of humor. The television stations made millions of dollars by selling advertising that would air during the show. By the end of 1986, Oprah made an estimated annual income of $30 million. She had met her goal of becoming a thirty-two-year-old millionaire—and then some." This explains how Oprah has her own show which many people actually know her for. People might know Oprah from her show called The Oprah Winfrey Show. This show was very popular and she made a lot of money. As this says, people loved Oprah's honesty which was one thing about her. This also says how she achieved her goal of becoming a millionaire. So that was another thing about Oprah Winfrey.
