I would like to talk about my aunt who a lot of people ask advice from. She is in her 50s and works as a high school counselor. I believe that people go to her for advice because she has this amazing ability to listen without judgment. She has a wealth of experience and what is more, she has this talent for breaking down complex problems into manageable pieces, making it easier for people to see the light at the end of the tunnel. She often gives advice on a wide range of topics from career choices to relationship issues. She is particularly good at helping people with their family problems or work related challenges. I feel incredibly lucky to have her in my life. She has been a rock for me during some tough times and her wisdom has helped me solve many issues. What I admire about her is that she doesn’t just tell people what they want to hear. She gives it to them straight but always with kindness and compassion.
