My Dear Oprah:

I write to you because I want to share with you what an impact your show has been in my life.

My name is BLANK and I’m from the BLANK. Seven years ago I moved to United States to attend college in the state of Georgia at BLANK. I had a whole world ahead of me and I thought I was on top of the world “what a great feeling it is to feel that way.” I had everything planned for my life, I was going to graduate with a master in Architecture, I was going to get a great job, loose my weight because I was and I am obese and marry my high school sweetheart.

Out of all of those plans I did accomplished to graduate and marry my high school sweet heart who now lives with me in United States. With these accomplishments you would think that I would be a happy woman and feel complete because after five yrs of hard work I graduated and after 9 yrs of being in a relationship with who’s now my husband we finally got married and we were finally together after spending 5 yrs apart.

But that isn’t the case Oprah. After graduating and getting married I had to move in with my mother because my father could no longer afford to pay my apartment and my mother’s house at the same time, because she had recently moved to United States and was living in a rental property.

My husband was lucky enough to find a job in banking right away. But unfortunately I haven’t been so lucky. After a year and half of graduating and sending out at least two applications per day every day I have found nothing. And not only have I applied in my field but also out of my field. And to make things even better Oprah I have gain 70 pounds since my wedding in 2009 and I I’m in debt with all my college loans that come out to a total of $104,550.57, and they keep on growing with interest. I wish someone would have educated me better about college loans.

This situation has broken me inside and has made a person that I don’t even recognize not only physically but emotionally. I’ve been diagnose with Dysthymia a type of depression, I’ve been diagnose with Thyroid problems and I’m currently on medication for that, I’ve been also diagnose as pre diabetic, I have fatty liver and high cholesterol. All of this has made my life crumble down because this is not what I had in mind for my life a year and half ago. All of this has also affected my relationship with my husband and my family.

I am lucky enough that my husband works and supports me and lucky enough that my father helps me out financially however, this is not what I want for my life because I always saw myself as an Independent women not an economically unstable and an unhealthy person.

Now till six months ago I had never seen an Oprah show because I was always too busy before planning the next step in my life. But with so much free time the unemployed life has left me with I started watching your show. I love the way you speak Oprah, I love the way you read, I love the topics on your show because they are such an inspiration to other peoples lives especially to me. Every time I see your show or better said the reruns now I cry or smile of joy or sadness because you do so much good in this world. There simply isn’t another person like Oprah in this world. Your show makes me feel hope that I will one day get my life on track. And that even with all the problems I’m facing I will get to places and do the things I’ve always dreamed of. Oprah you are my Ultimate Dream.

I see my life now differently and growing in a different way. It’s no longer important for me to have a structured life. For me its important to live a healthy life and to hopefully get a job one day that will help me pay my bills, my loans and hopefully then one day fulfill the many other dreams I have.

All of this because I have hope that I can turn my life around for the better.
