My Aunt

Significant - adjective; important. If there was one person who has made a significant impact in my life, there would be no doubt my aunt LaTania. She is hardworking, always there for me, and has shined throughout all of her struggles. Many people in the world do not have a positive influences and most of them are the ones in trouble. Everyone should have someone like my aunt. As the manager of Source Corp Imaging, she has many responsibilities to uphold. Training all employees, doing payroll, filling out paperwork for different clients that have to go out, holding meetings and speaking publicly, answering difficult questions, and staying late without overtime pay, I would have to say this is true dedication to her job. This woman works very hard for her company and when I was a summer employee I got a first hand look at what she really did. Every employee has respect for her because she is diligent about her work, and how she interacts with people. This is the one person, I swear who doesn’t complain about all the work she has to do and when I get established in my career I hope I have all her qualities.

My aunt LaTania has always been here for me since the day I was born, she treats me as if I was her daughter. When she did have her child, everywhere they went, I was right along with them. We went to amusement parks, go - carting, the pool, arcades, the mall, the monster trucks, anywhere that was fun, we went. People always compare her daughter and me, they say that we were switched I act like my aunt and her daughter is just like my mom. We all also look alike so when you see all of us you can tell we are related.. We used to have so much fun. We didn’t need friends because we were very close to each other. When I told my family I was pregnant, it seemed like the only person who was there for me in my family was my aunt.

She would tell me everything would work out and they were just shocked and they would get over it. Aunt Toni would make sure I was okay and if I wanted to talk about something we would hop in her truck and just drive and talk about life or whatever was on my mind. I appreciate her for just always aking sure that I was all right. Throughout all her shine, she has had quite a downfall of events also. She thought she had found the man of her dreams, he was the father of her child and the only man she had been with for 18 years. They got married in August 1997 but it didn’t last long, they finalized their divorce in early 2009. When they were together around family it was all good but when I would stay over night at their house it was a different story. Always arguing, no positive energy, he gave up on their relationship and she was tired of feeling like she was the one bringing it down. Therefore it was not a healthy way to live and ultimately it had to come to divorce. Now she is very happy with someone new and it shows in her attitude and body language. I am so excited for her and her “new life. ” As a positive influence, my aunt has gone above and beyond what someone should do for somebody. She has been a great role model, a person that everyone should have in their life. I have a great appreciation for everything she has done for me. I thank god I can always go to her for her help and support.
