"Success comes to those who dedicate everything to their passion in life. To be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to your head"-A.R. Rahman. Others may have taken advantage of their fame but one generous women didn't, Angelina Jolie. With Academy and three Golden Globe awards, Jolie set them aside when assisting the meager. Her fame comes to great use when donating money to charities and foundations in exigency. So many elevated people have used their fame in a poor manner but has used it in a way that encourages others and should be documented. She is a courageous woman that shines her honored dauntless steps into making our communities a greater place. Angelina Jolie is a wonderful caregiver, providing aid to people in need as well as using her power in society to better others instead of herself.

As a great wife and mother of six children, Jolie still has the continuation to comfort other impecunious children around the world. During her dispensing journeys, she has come across the qualification to adopt kids from Cambodia and call them her's. Taking a minor into her own hands and outside of a harsh environment was the least she could have done for her new adopted son named Maddox (Australian Women's Weekly). After a devastating earthquake in Cambodia, Jolie did not hesitate to visit, and traveled there as soon as the news broke knowing her aptitude could make an impact. These actions included building schools in Kenya and Afghanistan. She has bestowed endowment in nearly sixty countries including Pakistan, Tanzania, Egypt, Thailand, Iraq, and others (Look to the Stars). Since 2001 she has helped missions around the world on account of also being recognized for The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Dedicating her time and money to extreme rural poverty, protecting natural resources and conserving wildlife. These different charities help animals, humans, and the eco system.

Angelina is not just a hero in providing aid for the destitute, but also being a chivalrous women in society. Not only helping children but young women as well in the health and care, such as cancer illnesses. After having her mother pass away at the age of 57 with a diagnosis of ovarian and breast cancer. Jolie took action and realized that women with breast cancer were having a double mastectomy surgery (The Rise Of Preventive Mastectomies). Being a national trend which Angelina wanted to be a part of she too got a double mastectomy removal surgery proving that women can remain beautiful without breasts. "...There are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too. will know that they have strong options"(Angelina Jolie). Reaching out to humanitarian activities around the world including the sicknesses of ovarian and breast cancer.

Angelina Jolie the caregiver and aid provider to society influencing the needing. Being such a grateful person and a beautiful women, she went along with proving a point that women may still be beautiful without breasts, along with reducing the risk of cancer. Also going to extreme measures by traveling the world and providing aid to the meager. That is why I believe Angelina Jolie's giving apportion should be recorded. Conjointly, many citizens are gaining respect and recognition toward Jolie and her accomplishments. Starting with her new commitment in traveling across the world to help violence against women. These are arguments why Angelina Jolie is a favored women to me and many citizens; she helped the ones who needed it most.
