Oprah says she is going back to Africa in the fall to teach high school students

Damn, word…

Oprah Winfrey is back in the USA after spending time with her “girls” at the school she opened in South Africa, but don’t fear, ladies, Miss O will be returning soon in the role of teacher.

“They were all stressed for tests, but doing fine,” Oprah emailed fans — including yours truly — about her students. “No major crisis this trip. I love being with them and talking to them about all things important. When I’m there I’m talking from the time I get up till I go to bed, about EVERYTHING teenage girls are going through. It’s the same all over the world.”

Oprah revealed that she would be returning this fall to teach a class called ‘It’s Life 101’ about all the stuff she wished someone had told her about how the world really works.

“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.”

Adding that there is nothing like leaving the USA to get a deeper appreciation of the freedoms we sometimes take for granted.

For what it’s worth, this is a pretty good idea that should be in every High School. Kids need to know what exactly the “adult world” is about, especially as they are about to enter college.
