Through 25 seasons, 4,561 episodes, I believe the Oprah Winfrey show was one of the greatest

classrooms in the world.

I really never thought of it that way.

The aha moments, the breakthroughs, the LOLs, the connections, the occasional ugly cry.

I'm missing so terribly, I'm missing every single minute.

The moments that matter, the eye-opening light lessons, never allow them to take

to some words.

I'm bringing them back.

It's time to open the vault.

I've personally chosen these classic episodes to share with you again.

Every single person you ever will meet shares that common desire.

They want to know, do you see me?

Do you hear me?

Being forced to bathe in rivers, teeming with deadly fish and snakes 20 feet long, swarmed

night and day by armies of stinging and biting insects, needing permission to go to the

bathroom, being chained by your neck to a tree, and walked on a leash like a dog, waking

up every morning, asking yourself, is today the day I'm going to die.

I have never heard a more incredible story of survival, of strength, of courage in my

life.
