Nyema's Bio

My name is Nyema. I attend Hughes Center. I'm in the ninth grade. I'm in the Communication Professions. I'm fourteen years old, my birthday is on May 28th. My mother is the most important person in my life. My father is my backbone, it gives me great joy for him to be a part of my life. I love my family and friends.

I am very interested in many things. I was a cheerleader for Hughes. My talent is singing, I really love to sing, also dancing. I am in a singing group with my friends and my brother produces our work. My favoirite pet is kittens. I like shopping and hanging with my friends, I also like talking on the phone. I dislike things that don't interest me, like jealously and negative things.

A unique experience that I've had is when I got an autograph from one of my favorite singing groups, Destiny's Child. I was very exited when I got it.

My future plan is to be famous in the music business or if that doesn't work out I want to be a journalist or a poet, I really like to write poems. I plan to attend college at Tuskegee University in Alabama.

I decided to participate in the TNT program because I would like to be a part of history. It seems interesting to be with people you don't know and being able to get to know them. This experience will have a great effect on me and my future that is why I decided to join it.

Well that's enough of me. I'm glad you stopped by to look at my biography. I hope you enjoy this website. Here is a poem writen by me I hope you enjoy my poem also.

 

All About Me !!

Cheerful, happy, always laughing
That’s what people see when they see me


Cuteness, talents smile so wide
That’s what people see when they see me


Caring, daring sometimes sharing,
That’s what people see when they see me


To always Stay by your and never a sign of betrayal.
That’s what people see when they see me


Last but not least very sweet.
Emotions that come and go but I will still be me


Come into my life and know a little about me
And you will see what everybody sees.


-Nyema Ivey
