I have a lot of people I look up to in my life but the one that stands out to me the most is Dolly Parton. She is a loving lady who loves children, God, and singing! Those are the three most important things to me in my life. She likes to wear fabulous clothes and stands out in a crowd! Her music is so amazing!
My favorite song Dolly wrote is “I Will Always Love You”. I love how she inspires other children to read using Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library! It is where her organization sends in books to children birth to five. My parents signed me up when I was little and I loved it!
She loves Butterflies and anything with sparkles on it! She loves to wear fanciful wigs! She has at least 365 wigs! She wasn’t always the movie star. She grew up in the Appalachian Mountains. She was so poor as a child her parents had to pay the doctor a sack of cornmeal when she was born. Her love of singing never changed. She would perform to her 11 brothers and sisters, and if they wouldn’t listen she’d sing to the animals. Heck she’d sing to the ground if no one was there! Dolly Parton is my role model and hero!
