8. Oprah Winfrey
As it turns out, the queen of daytime television has a long history of speaking engagements under her belt. Oprah Winfrey enjoys public speaking so much that she spent her whole high school career as a member of the drama and debate club… Additionally, she was a member of the student council’s advocacy committee and a member of the speech squad on top of all of that.
That’s what I’m picking up on. Oprah received her high school diploma from East Nashville High School in 1971. The Tennessee State University scholarship will cover the entirety of her tuition and fees. She’ll be in complete command of the entire world before she knows it.
