Oprah To Teach A Class At Her School in South Africa

Oprah may have ended her talk show but she's added a few more tasks to her list of things to do.

Oprah is making plans to return to the school she built in South Africa to teach a class called "It's Life 101".



Oprah says the class will teach the students things  about the real world that she wishes people would've taught her.
Should be fun since I love to teach. And they’re like sponges,” Oprah said. “Like 12th graders everywhere, this first class is both anxious and excited about going to college. Most will be the first in their family. So it’s a very big deal for them, and they’re feeling the pressure.”
		
			
		
		
Winfrey also says that leaving the States sometimes gives you a deeper appreciation for the freedoms that you take for granted.
When Chris Rock was last on the show he said, ‘real wealth is having options.’ I thought that was pretty profound,” Oprah says. “I now stress to my girls that education prepares you to have options. Without it you have none. Just took a walk around the neighborhood watching sprinklers on the back lawn … (I love sprinklers) Made me think about the red dirt road I traveled from Mississippi (no sprinklers) to the here and now … And how that journey could have only been possible in the USA.”
