Have you gone through adversity? Did you succeed? I have read about a lot of people who faced adversity. But the one that stuck with me the most was Charlize Theron’s story.
First off, Charlize Theron’s mother had killed her drunk father as self defense. This is according to britannica.com, and this was a traumatic event. This wasn’t her facing adversity, but she attended ballet when she was 13 years old, showing that life went on after family tragedy. When she was 16 years old she became a model in Milan, and she had to move there by herself, which is a big deal and takes mental strength. After that she tried to act but failed again, you can probably tell by now that she has failed a lot. Next let’s see her succeeding…
Like I said before, she went through some trouble throughout her life. But she came through when she moved to Hollywood and while she was in the bank, she started making a scene which made her get discovered by an acting agent. Little by little she started getting roles as an actress. Most of them were small, but she was still getting recognized. One of her most known movies is Young Adult, that was made in 2011. In case you didn’t know, she was African. She was the first African to win an acting Oscar. All of this info was also found in britannica.com. Moving on…
Meanwhile, she was beginning to get successful, she adopted her son in 2010. She was also involved in many charities, and she even made her own charity. For example, CTAOP or Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, is her charity. After the problems she’s been through, she wants to give to others. In case you wanted to see for yourself, I found this in the famous people.com website. She has a daughter and son, isn’t married at the moment, and has many awards for her movies. After facing adversity, you can see that she was able to keep going.
The main idea here is that Charlize Theron faced adversity like other people and kept going forward. She really struggled when she was young, like with her father being shot by her mother as self defense. She started succeeding with her acting career little by little. And of course, she has her family and charities. She is someone people can admire.
I really liked how you elaborated because you were very specific in your words. Also I learned that Charlize Theron had to go through some tough stuff to achieve her goal in life. By Benjamin Hernandez
