Christina's Story

I remember wanting to own my own business when I was growing up. I have reached that destiny, my calling in life. I have owned my own business since 1987. A retail store in Downtown Lisle, Illinois. I was featured on Windy City Live for my many charities, which you can check it out on my business website, tinasclosetinc.com. I don't know where the years have gone but I do think about the good old days when the only responsibility was to get up and go to school and work each day. All kidding aside I don't think the good old days are as rewarding as the present. I found the true meaning of life and will continue helping those with my given destiny. I live each day helping others who can not help themselves. I gave birth to two great sons. My oldest son Michael who recently was featured on Fox news for saving shot gun victims. I am so proud of him for seeing value in others lives. My youngest some Christopher had a head injury at age 22. He was 45 when he passed away from the trauma and pain. Before his parting he fathered the apple of my eye, which all grand parents understand what I am saying.

f my dreams. I have great friends whom I appreciate and cherish. I pretty much have accomplished my bucket list. I have published two books, won the Naperville Film Fest Award for making a mobile video, producer of a film and won many business awards over the years. It was nice being recognized and it was very exciting to win, however, nothing bets going to work and making my customers happy and supportive. Today, I am adding mentoring to my list of accomplishments. I am starting to mentor business majors who plan on opening a business someday. I helped two local struggling businesses near Tina's Closet, to stay in business. My book call Key's to Opening a Success Business is written in detail to help Entrepreneurs get started, what pit falls to avoid and how to keep their business running even during the hardest of times. It seems the older I get the more I work. If I though anyone would vote for me I would run for President, I truly believe I couldn't mess up things worse than what they are already. I know how to manage money and I get the job done even if I have to stay up all night. If I don't get a chance to make the reunion, stop by and say Hello, because it would be wonderful to catch up on old time.
