Oprah didn’t have a beautiful childhood. She didn’t have a complete family since here parents were separated she was molested by her cousin, her uncle, and a family friend and she grew up in poverty. She lived with her every poor, but strict and supportive grandmother, Hattie Mae Lee. Oprah was so poor that she often wore dresses made of potato snack. That made her the laughing stock of her friend. But even though her grandmother was very poor, she taught her to read before the age of three and took her to local church. There she was nicknamed “The Preacher” for her ability to recite Bible verse.
Even though her family life was far from ideal, Oprah very good at school. She always got good grades and she received a scholarship when she was 13. When she was 14, her mother her to live with her father, Vernon.
Fortunately, he was a strict but encouraging. He also made her put education as her first priority. She became a honor student and joined and won several competitions. The she was involved with the press and the media and made a name for herself. Now she has everything a show, a school, wealth, fame, magazine and everything she couldn’t afford in her childhood.
Now Oprah is not only a famous and rich woman, but also a philanthropist. She doesn’t have children, but she treats all the students at South Africa’s Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls as her daughters.
