Beyonce' Role Model Speech
Beyonce’ Giselle Knowles was born September 4th, 1981. She has always been interested in music since the age of 7. In fact, by the age 15 she was already performing with her group “Destiny’s Child”. Years later after the group split up Beyonce’ became very popular as a solo artist. She has won 55 Grammies so far. She chose her career because she was 1st exposed to singing & dancing as a child. She attended The High School of Performing and Visual Arts. She also attended Alief Elsik high school.
Beyonce’ is stunning “eye candy” and a great singer, actress, and a role model. She has a salary of 80 million dollars. Her net worth is 300 million dollars. She’s had additional training in body, vocal, dance, and corset. Beyonce’ has been a very positive role model to people of the u.s and out of country as well. She has done plenty of charity work in the past and till this day. The greatest contribution she has made is the Survivor Foundation, an organization she founded with fellow Destiny’s Child Kelly Rowland to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. The foundation’s accomplishments are many, including the Music World Cares Christmas Carnival that enabled over 300 low-income households to enjoy a fun-filled day of food, entertainment, a visit from Santa Claus and free toys from the toy giveaway. The singer also held a series of food drives before her concerts in 2006 to collect the food that was so desperately needed by victims. Beyoncé was also an Ambassador for the 2005 World Children’s Day, and released “Stand Up For Love,” the anthem for the event which takes place annually around the world on November 20 to raise awareness and funds for children’s causes. Beyoncé donated a handbag to an auction benefitting Women's Fund for Scotland. But her concern for people is sometimes more discreet, as was shown when she visited two people who were injured during a fireworks accident at one of her concerts, arriving at the hospital shortly after the concert ended.

Since most children are seldom most of the time and spend hours upon hours watching television “every extra hour of TV they watch is associated with the consumption of an additional 167 calories.” (423). Children aren’t just becoming lazier, they’re actually becoming more and more unhealthy as time goes on developing “diabetes and cancer, heart disease, asthma.” (420). In an effort to try and help fix childhood obesity Obama launched the “Let’s Move” campaign, which even features commercials on Disney Channel showing the Disney celebrities outside playing some kind of physical activity. The four main points to this campaign are; The first one consists of giving parents knowledge to give their children healthy food not fast food. The second point states that the government is attempting to replace fatty foods in schools with healthier options, regardless of how the children will feel about it. The third part of the campaign is just trying to show children that being active actually is fun, it doesn’t just have to be challenging. The final point Obamas’ campaign states is that all families no matter what their income is, wealthy or struggling, should have the ability to get fresh and healthy food without breaking the bank.…
