Jennifer Aniston

by Sophie from Glenbrook Middle School

“There are no regrets in life, just lessons.”

Jennifer Aniston was born in Sherman Oaks, California, and grew up in New York City. She established her acting career in the 1990’s with her role as Rachel Greene in the U.S sitcom Friends. She has become a very talented actress since then, and has starred in several movies. Jennifer Aniston is also very charitable. She enjoys donating to many charities. Charity work is a big part of her life. Jennifer is selfless because despite all her fame and fortune, she is able to help others less privileged.

What makes Jennifer a hero is how she encourages many others and me. Strive for your goals and persevere, then you can do whatever you want in life. Jennifer Aniston had a divorce at a young age, but she has managed to put it behind her and continues to succeed in her career. She inspires me because when I see how passionate and talented she is at doing what she loves, it makes me want to do the same.

Jennifer Aniston made an impact in my life because she gives to many good causes. She has donated $5,000,000 to Doctor’s Without Borders, Partners In Health, and AmeriCares. All three organizations are currently involved in relief efforts in Haiti. In addition, she helps raise money for a Mexican children’s shelter by creating a doll for charity. Jennifer is also a long-term supporter of Friends of El Faro, an organization that aims to help improve the lives of local kids in orphanages.

I think Jennifer Aniston is a very inspiring, independent actress. She teaches her fans that in spite of your everyday challenges, you should always try your best and do what you love. She is a well-rounded person who continues to succeed and do good deeds. That is why to me she is a hero.
