TavaraMorrisautobiography.docxTavara Morris, April 30th 1983, born and raised in Chicago IL, currently reside in Indiana. My parents’ names are Donald and Paula Morris. My mother passed away October 2015 to cancer, my father is still living. My mother and father were married for 35 years prior to her passing. My other was considered to be a functioning alcoholic my entire life. I have 2 siblings one sister and one brother both older than me. My sister is 11 years older and my brother is 13 years older than me.
Unfortunately, I am not close to my older siblings, I am convinced my older sister hates me because of how close I am to my little niece which is her daughter. Growing up I always looked after her anytime she needed anything my sister called me to do it for her, so now that she is all grown up my niece calls me for everything rather it is for general advice, homework help, purchasing a car or parenting advice now that she is parent. My niece and I are extremely close.
I had a typical child hood although my mother was an alcoholic she still took care of the household or at least my dad did. Growing up my mother worked and my dad was the stay at home dad. I never really understood this concept but it worked for them I guess.
Not being close to your only siblings is very difficult and at times it is hard and you get lonely but I do have my niece and a few close friends I can call on when I need a shoulder to lean upon.
Growing up my mother cared for 4 of her grandchildren because my sister and brother were simply irresponsible so although my brother and sister were out of the home my nieces and nephews were like my brothers and sisters and we are all really close to this day.
I graduated from high school at the top of my class, I attempted to go straight to college but was unfocused, ultimately I was able to go ahead and complete my college degree.
I am the first to ever graduate college out of my entire family, I am a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), I graduated #1 in my class, and I currently work for a major health insurance provider in the state of Illinois. Prior to becoming an LPN I received my associate’s degree in business from the University of Phoenix. I look forward to advancing in my healthcare career, I prefer to do Public Health or Healthcare administration/informatics. I always dreamed of being the administrator or director of a hospital.
I have 3 daughters ages 13, 10 and 6. Giving birth was an amazing experience my first daughter was born on Thanksgiving, she was the most beautiful turkey I had ever seen in my life. My daughter’s Name is Lyric Angel, she weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. I remember having to immediately be rushed to ICU because I had a fever at the time was born so they needed to insure she was healthy. November 25th 2004 this day was the beginning to my ending. This was the day I realized life was precious and I was no longer responsible for just my life. My second daughter was born February 20th 2008, Zynia Aaliyah (Brilliant Flower Ascending High), she weighed in at 6 pounds 11 ounces and 18 inches, just as tiny as could be, I didn’t even have to push with her, she practically just came out with no force. She became my second reason to push to have a great life. My third and final baby was born April 22nd 2012, Riley Amani, she weighed in at 6 pounds 6 ounces the tiniest one of them all but has the biggest personality. All three of my daughters give me life they are my reasons for living, they are my reasons I strive to succeed. I want my daughters to see what hard work looks like, what achieving your goals and life dreams can do for your life.
