What makes angelina jolie a good role model




















Would you take it or leave it? My hero Angelina Jolie took her chance and she loves helping! Her mom died January 27, A few of Jolie's struggles growing up was not being very close to her father because there was family trouble between him and her mother.

Angelina did once try to be a model, but for some reason she wasn't good at it. As I mentioned before, her mother died, which did affect Jolie and cause pain. As you can see the struggles Angelina faced didn't stop her from following her dreams, and I personally think her mother's death inspired her to help others.

She is always willing to give money that she earns to them. Another huge accomplishment of hers is she is a famous actress as you probably know already. The vacuous and vain are sucking up valuable airtime and column inches, leaving us empty as a result. Thankfully, amid the puerile inanity of excremental television, singing haircuts and reality harlots there was some redemption with the pairing of celebrity and news this week.

It came in the form of Angelina Jolie's considerate, candid and constructive article in The New York Times , and reproduced in these pages, on her decision to undergo an elective double mastectomy. It was a message resonating in warmth, honesty and concern. It was a celebration of the love of her partner and children and a note of gratitude for her good fortune. It was another example of admirable behaviour from a woman who is not going to waste the impressive power of her ''celebrity'' on shampoo commercials and fluffy chitchat.

It was the action of an evolved, wise and centred woman balancing extraordinary privilege with benevolence. Which is why I will take on anyone who tries to dismiss Jolie as another oxygen-thief actor full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Forget about her career and looks; this woman has a soul. Many will argue with me that I am not a sister for championing Jolie; that she ''stole'' another woman's husband. Well, I don't believe men can be stolen. They are not inanimate objects. Only a particularly diehard cynic would believe Jolie's humanitarian efforts are a publicity stunt.

Just look at what she has crammed into the past decade. It is impressive, inspiring and humbling. It's a long list but worth taking in. Angelina has been active with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in more than 30 countries - always covering her own costs and sharing the same rudimentary conditions as UNHCR field staff.

She's been an invited speaker at the World Economic Forum and has met with members of the United States Congress at least 20 times, lobbying for bills to aid refugees and vulnerable children in the Third World. With Brad Pitt she created the Jolie-Pitt Foundation aiding humanitarian causes worldwide, and co-partnered the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, educating those affected by man-made or natural disasters. Well, the list of accolades she won seems endless. She has also been cited as the world's "most beautiful" woman by various media outlets.

This title brought her substantial publicity. In Jolie adopted her first child, Maddox Chivan, from an orphanage in Cambodia. She adopted a daughter in from an orphanage in Ethiopia and her third adopted child came in from an orphanage in Vietnam. Her humanitarian concerns are so obviously noble.

Her relationship with Pitt has caught fervent media attention. Jolie and Pitt have three biological children and three adopted children. Jolie personally encountered the effects of a humanitarian crisis while shooting one of her films in in a war-torn Cambodia. Over the next decade she went on field trips around the world and contributed a huge sum to charity.

Women who carry the gene fault have a higher risk of breast or ovarian cancer. Since Jolie had a strong family history of cancer, she decided to have a genetic test which found she carried the BRCA1 gene fault.

She chose to have a double mastectomy. She has gone further to a radical surgery which included the removal of her ovaries since her mother died of ovarian cancer. Professor Georgia Chenevix-Trench, a cancer genetics expert applauded Jolie and said "It was a series of brave but very wise decisions: to have the genetic testing, to have the radical surgery, and then to speak about the experience.
