"To serve as a leader, live a balanced life, and apply ethical principles to make a significant difference."
"The personal mission statement was important for me because I believe that you can’t lead others unless you have a strong sense of who you are and what you stand for. For me, living a balanced life means nurturing the academic, physical, and spiritual aspects of my life so I can maintain a sense of well-being and self- esteem."

"To be a teacher. And to be known for inspiring my students to be more than they thought they could be."
In an issue of O
magazine, Winfrey recalls watching her grandmother churn butter and wash clothes in a cast-iron pot in the yard. A small voice inside of her told her that her life would be more than hanging clothes on a line. She eventually realized she wanted to be a teacher, but "I never imagined it would be on TV," she writes.
