Oprah, I Want To Meet You

In life, surely we idolize someone. Both famous artists and important figures, as well as I who idolize Oprah Winfrey.
I don't know since when, I idolized her. First time hearing her name in a news in one of the television shows (forgot the name of the station). In the news,it was about Oprah's past. What made me interested was, Oprah was a "victim" of sexual harassment by her own family.
From there, I began to search for information about Oprah Winfrey. Who is Oprah Winfrey?
Oprah Winfrey was born January 29, 1954 in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Parents divorced since she was a child. And she was raised by her grandmother on a farm.
Oprah's childhood may not be like other children in general. She was raped at the age of 9 years by her own cousin. And she chose to remain silent, not telling anyone about the incident.
She even blamed herself.
How could the rape be considered to be her own fault? Maybe if that happened to me, I would report it and be traumatized or even kill myself. But Oprah didn't, she chose to be quiet.
Not only that, Oprah was pregnant and gave birth to a child at a young age.
Yes ... At the age of 14, Oprah gave birth to a child. But unfortunately, her child died. Shortly thereafter, Oprah lived with her father and stepmother. With strict rules and upbringing from her father, Oprah managed to rise from adversity.
She once chose to represent her school in a youth conference at the White House. And she also got a scholarship.
Amazing ...
Since then, I started to idolize Oprah and follow all her accounts in cyberspace.
Oprah began her career in television at the age of 19, she became a journalist and a news anchor. And since then, she rose up in her career.
She also received many awards.
Her first award in 1996, the International Radio & Television Society Foundation - George Foster Peabody Awards Gold Medal Award - 1995 Individual Achievement Award.
In addition, Oprah is also the founder of "O, The Oprah Magazine" magazine. And she also has her own talk show, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" which was produced by her own company.
She also acted in several movies and films.
Wealth and fame did not make her arrogant, instead she contributes to many social activities.
From the news that I read, the reason she contributes was because,"The best way to bring good to yourself is to do good for others".
Oprah and I might be the same in terms of saving the problem itself, not wanting to tell others what happened.
Its the same with me, always keep my own problems to myself. As a person who always smiles, but in actual life,my heart is filled with a lot of problems. Do not want to share,but keep it to myself.
Maybe, Oprah didn't want to tell what happened to her for fear of being a burden to the people around her.
Oprah is an inspirational figure for everyone, although with a dark past a person can also be successful.
The proof is, she became one of the richest people in the world with a total wealth of maybe around 100 trillion rupiah.
Amazing ...
isn’t it ?
And my dream is to be able to meet Oprah Winfrey and hug her . That's enough, but it's just a dream that may not come true.I hope one day God will answer my prayers and my dream.
