Inspiration thingy Rough Draft
Every person in this world has someone who is an inspiration to them. One of an unknown number of people who inspire me is Tyra Banks. Yes, she may talk about herself incessantly, and say weird things too, but besides all that she is a good role model. Tyra started the TZONE week-long camp in 1999 to help teenage girls with self esteem, reinforce positive values and to encourage them to resist peer pressure. She has helped empower many girls and young women. More recently, when Tyra Banks launched the Tyra Show, she began giving power to women more publicly, through television. On her hour long show, she helps women and girls with body image issues, among other things that help to better people. In our society, today, body image is a very important thing. Girls’ ideal body images have come to be ones of impossibly stick thin models. Tyra has addressed this, and I am in agreement with her- you do not have to be skinny to be beautiful. Beauty comes from your attitude and how you present yourself to the world; it’s not just your body. Tyra is pretty, funny, smart and likes to do good things for other, more unfortunate people; that's why I chose to write about her. Tyra Banks has helped so many girls with so many things, which is why she is inspiring to me.
