A Letter From Oprah

• Dear Cathedral Student,
• I have always been motivated to help the
  struggling youth as well as other adults because,
  when I was experiencing traumatic events in my
  life, I wanted someone to help me along the way.
  Later in my life I moved in with my Grandmother,
  and she inspired me to succeed in life. From
  personal experiences I have learned many lessons
  and have a true voice to share with the
  community.
• My way of giving back to the community is by
  donating several dollars to many funds to help
  children who are in situations like I
  experienced. I also have opened many foundations
  and charities to help the youth of America.
