My Aunt Vicky is one person who has always demonstrated how to be a leader, and she has guided me to be one in my own way. She has always told me to put family first and be there for the ones that love you. As a kid I would always go spend time with her, and my cousin Josh, at her house. When my parents would work I would spend most my time over there. She always would sit me down, pull out my homework, and would not let me leave till it was finished. If she thought it was sloppy, I would be re-doing it. When my parents relationship was changing, I told my Mom and Aunt I wanted to stay with my aunt and Josh for a little, and they accepted it. My Aunt Vicky would always comfort me, and she really showed me how to be independent. My cousin Josh was always a brother to me, we couldn't be any closer. Growing up he was a little older than me, so he got to experience things before me and always gave me good advice. Also my Aunt Vicky was somone I could come and talk to about anything on my mind, she could make me feel comfortable. She always ensured me I will always have a home with her. The beginning of my freshman year at Fraser my mom passed away. My aunt still always stuck by my side after I made the decision to go stay with my dad, Wayne Kitson, to live in Wayne and go to Wayne Memorial High School. Every weekend I would still come to my aunts and my little brothers to visit. After spending the rest of my freshman year at my dads, I moved back to Fraser to live at my aunts. Her house is right down the street from my little brother. My aunt always make sure my dads are well and if somethings wrong she knows as soon as she sees me. She always was very independent women and told me "if you want things done right, you just have to do it yourself", she is even a leader in my family with helping my Grandma Jenny. She always puts others before herself even if it means going out of her way. She always taught me to work hard and nothing feels better than doing it all on your own. She was someone who cared and was always fair to everybody. She will always be considered one of my heros and I don't know where I would be without her, I'm blessed to have someone who cares like her. She has made it clear that she will always be there for me for the rest of my life. My Aunt and I have a relationship that nothing could come between or break.
