Reflection Task 3

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - the man of the year



 I choose Justin Timberlake because he is really a nice, kind and helpful man. He makes a lot of donations. He has been active in several charitable pursuits. Firstly when he was in the band 'N Sync's, he was involved in “Challenge for the Children" activity. In 2001, he founded the "Justin Timberlake Foundation". The foundation initially funded music education programs in schools. However, now it has a much broader agenda.
 In October 2005, the Grammy Association presented Timberlake with an award for his humanitarian efforts in Tennessee.
In November 2007, he donated $100,000 from takings from his Australian tour to Wildlife Warriors founded by Steve Irwin.
On March 23, 2008, he donated $100,000 to the Memphis Rock N' Soul Museum and another $100,000 to the Memphis Music Foundation.
On November 12, 2007, Timberlake became the host of the tour's Las Vegas tournament which will start in 2008. With Timberlake's agreement to host the tournament, its name was changed to the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. 
 
He played in the celebrity pro-am on the day before the competitive tournament and hosted a charity concert during the week of the tournament. The activity was a success, and was repeated in 2009. According to a survey, Justin Timberlake's s estimated worth to Shriners Hospital for Children, reaped $9,262,381 for 2009 -which sets the world record for the Biggest support for charity.
Justin donated an item to watchmaker Nixon to be made into a watch, the sale of which benefitted the MusiCares MAP Fund — a pool of resources set aside to address addiction and recovery needs of members of the music community.
Timberlake teamed up with REM’s Michael Stipe for a charity single to continue aid for Hurricane Katrina victims. The CD, In the Sun, is available for purchase on iTunes.
Timberlake was awarded the Big Help award for his charity work at the 2011 Kids’ Choice Awards held at the USC Galen Center in Los Angeles.

  1. dear Sena,
    As I didn't know a lot about Justin Timberlake, I didn't love him . However, because I trust your interest, I read your reflection, and my opinion has entirely changed. I see that he is a perfect man. He certainly deserves being man of the year. He is very generous and helpful. You introduce him to us well, and you support your idea perfectly. Also, photos are relevant with your reflection. I can see hardly any mistake about grammar. I can just say that you should use comma after '''firstly''. Additionally, that you give us information about the foundations he founded is another point you touch on.
    my dear friend, you are perfect :)
