Angelina Jolie

In this world, many people are selfish, self-centred and don’t care about those around them. But, it is those who are the complete opposite that truly make a difference and become role models to change those whom are selfish. One of these life changers is the actress Angelina Jolie. She is most famously known for the extensive charity work she has done and continues to do every year. She has sent out over 5 million dollars in humanitarian aid (Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation) and has travelled to various countries on mission trips, working and helping those in need. In addition, she has adopted three children, Maddox from Cambodia, Zahara from Ethiopia and Pax from Vietnam. She especially inspires me because she is so selfless. She uses her hard earned money and fame to aid those around her rather than basking in the limelight of fame. This act alone demonstrates her strong character. Rather than spending her money on materialistic items as most celebrities do, she chooses to spend it on the betterment of other communities and individuals in need. This is especially inspiring to me as I see her as such a strong role model. She has shown me that you should always use opportunities offered to you to aid those around you rather than using it for your own betterment. She has taught me that no matter what situation you are in financially, mentally or physically, you must hold strong to your character and fight for your beliefs no matter what.

Final Question: If you could interview anyone alive or dead as to how they achieved what they did or their life path, who would it be and why?

If I were to interview any of the role models that I choose, it would be Angelina Jolie. The main reason why I would like to sit down and chat with her is to gain some insight into how she stays so grounded and humble throughout her fame. I would also like to learn about what it is that inspires her to do so many great things for humanity. In addition, I wonder what it is that she is most proud of and what she feels is her greatest achievement as she has done so much. In conclusion, I believe that an interview with Angelina Jolie would change my perspective on life and inspire me to become more humble and pay more attention to those around me who are struggling.
