Angelina Jolie is very selfless which is a reason why she
is my hero. She goes out of her way to give help to people in need. She could
live a happy life without any issues but instead she chooses to go around the
world and help. One example of being is selfless is "Since 2001, Jolie
has been on field missions around the world and met with refugees and
internally displaced persons in more than 20 countries" (Angelina Jolie:
Charity Work & Causes). This is a great example of being selfless because
it shows how much she helps around the world and not just in the US. She
travels to countries dangerous countries risking her life to help somebody
else's life. She does this because she sees what's wrong around the world . She
doesn't just live her life as an actress but instead puts her life in danger
for the sake of humanity. Another reason why she is selfless is because she
helps raise awareness of people in need around the world. An example of
Angelina Jolie raising awareness is "Jolie also arranged a deal with People
Magazine allowing them to print the first picture showing her visibly pregnant
in exchange for a $500,000 donation to the charity." (Angelina Jolie: Charity
Work & Causes). This shows that she didn't just want to be the only one
helping people. She made a deal which would benefit her and the society. This
also shows the society that she is a selfless women. And maybe inspired
people to do good and not take things for granted. Angelina Jolie is a really
good example of a selfless person for people to learn from.
Angelina uses her fame and money to help others in need.
She is a great example of someone who cares for everyone and not just herself.
She has done a lot of charity work around the world. She has donated millions
of dollars. An example of her help " She also visited Afghan refugees in
Pakistan and donated $1 million to help." This is an act of caring because with
that money it could help thousands of people . There are not many donations
made like this. This act deserves a lot of appreciation. There aren't many
people that would make this kind of donation. Being this caring also takes
bravery. Caring for the world is the definition of having humanity. Humanity is
exactly what Angelina Jolie spreads around the world. "The Jolie-Pitt Foundation, dedicated to
eradicating extreme rural poverty, protecting natural resources and conserving
wildlife, donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders." She doesn't only help
people in need but also helps keep areas safe. This was an act looking out for
planet earth. This was an act looking out for planet earth. Angelina Jolie is a
person that looks out for people all over the world. She sees beyond just
having a happy life as a famous actress.
Angelina Jolie is a type of person that goes around the world
risking her life for the sake of helping out people in need. She has donated so
much money to refugee camps and etc. She has traveled to many dangerous
countries risking her life. She has 6 children and they are all adopted. Jolie
inspires people by raising awareness of people in need. An example of showing
people how brave and caring she is that she adopted so many kids from different
countries. Its not easy to take care of 6 kids. This inspires people to make a
change in life. There is always something people could do to help. She has
raised so much money for refugee camps. She has inspired organizations to raise
millions of dollars to help get children education. The acts of Angelina Jolie
really inspire me to do great things in my life that will not only help me but the
people that need the help the most. That is why I chose Angelina Jolie as my
hero. I hope she keeps inspiring People around the world to do great things.
