I love making wishes come true, so if there is something you have always wanted to do - tell me about it! The crazier your wish, the more likely it is that I might make it happen!

What's up Tyra,
I was watching your show the other night and you asked if there's a wish that your fans have, that we can email it to you. Well, my wish is to go to an art school. There is a well-known, credible art college in Detroit. It is called CCS, College of Creative Studies. I am 21 years old and I want to be a graphic designer/animation. I know it is hard to make a living as as artist and going to a school that is one of the top 10 in the country, I have a good chance in succeeding! My dad is retired from Ford Motor Company, and it is hard to get by with one salary. As you know, Michigan's economy is not doing so well and many lost their jobs. I thank you for giving me the chance to state my wish. I want to tell you that I always thought you are soo pretty, and I enjoy watching America's Next Top Model and your show. You are very unique and talented. Hopefully someday I could meet you!
Love, Christina from Michigan

I always wanted to become a gospel singer and because it is so hard to become a singer i figured it would be very rear if i became a gospel singer. I thought that becoming a gospel and inspirational singer i can reach out to the youth and encourage them. while encouraging them i believe that i will be encouraging myself.However this is a dream that i'm still trying to pursue because i believe in faith, for this reason i will never give up on what i want, whether or not i'm told i won't make it in the gospel industry. I try to get as much help as i can and even if i don"t see any signs i will still continue my dream because it's going to be a dream come true. I also wanted to become a youth counselor and advisor. though i am young myself, i dont believe the young people have been getting the attention and love that they realy need. I just want to build up back this world, and it start with the young ones. I feel like evryone always judges and put down the youth so they tell them selfs their not going to make it. i want to build up back their confidence and let them know we will make it. I know many people have been asking for help, probably in areas like this. I also know i am not the first. However if you can help me help this world to bring back the confidence that many elderly's stole from the youth I would trulu appreciate it. Thanks Tyra and Gid Bless your heart and your foundations..

HI Tyra,
My name is Sancious King,I'm 20yrs old. And I want to start off by sayin that I've enjoyed watching your episodes of the Tyra Show. But the reason i am writing you is because i am in love with the boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and any information I can find out about him I would read it. I love to watch him box. I've always wanted to see him live, be right there on the side of the ring cheering him on. I know that he's 30 and there's a 10 year difference but i'm a grown woman. well not all the ways because i planned for my 21st birthday in Septemeber i was goin to fly to Las Vegas Nevada and find my man. no i'm not a stalker i just want to run into him and start conversation. And Tyra I am one of the greatest women that god has placed on this earth , because i can do anything. I love to cook, clean and take care of myself and who ever is in my life. Any relationship i've ever been in i've never asked him for anything cause i'm just not like that. I am the sweetest person you will ever meet and i'm down to earth and easy to get alone with. But for some reason every guy i've held a relationship cheated on me and now I've been dealing with trust issues. Tyra I am about to give birth to lil boy this month by my ex boyfriend thats in the army. and the reason i broke up with him is because i had this feeling and goin to church i got a message and i just had to cut him loose and ever since then all these things i didnt know about him just came out. And i am so hurt, I never want to be in this situation where i would be a single parent because I've always planned to fall in love and and get married and then have my baby's and live happily ever after. But now i have this situation on my hands and i'm not goin to let this stop me from achieving anything. But to get back on my subject about Floyd. I just always felt as if i was to sit down and hold a conversation with him face to face and hold his attention i could get him and interest and we go on from there. I want that man he is my dream man and if i cant get him i wish to find some one like him. Cause I just love his confidence, attitude, strenght,style because he dress so sharp oh and that gorgeous smile. I talk to my momma and sistas about that man almost everyday...I had a dream about us being together and i didnt want to wake up. So Tyra can you PPLLEEAASSEE!!! with Tyra cherries on top help a gurl meet the love of her life. I thank you for taking the time out to read my letter and if u cant help i'll just have to go on my search on my own.

Dear Tyra,
I have so many ideas that I would like to bring to life in my area, but I don’t know how to get started. I watched your show today about teenage pregnancies and I could relate to your guests because I had my first child at a very young age, and I decided to keep my child, but it wasn’t easy for me. I had a great struggle and presently I am still not in great standing, but I take it day by day. Since my struggle I have always wanted to start a program for teen mothers in my area because there are so many who don’t have a place to go or the skills to take care of a child. I, myself, was fortunate enough to have my mom and grandma to show me how to care for a child, but many young teens don’t have someone supporting them in that way, so I came up with the idea to start a program in which teen mothers could get the essential skills needed to care for a child by offering shelter, classes, seminars, etc. I would like to have an apartment complex rented out to strictly teen parents so no teen mother will be out on the street with a baby. In addition to having a place to stay, birthing classes and seminars will be given so teens can learn the basics to taking care of a child (although nothing is really simple when caring for a child). The seminars would be for the parents to go to to listen to other teen parents tell their story because its always good to have someone to relate to because none of us like to feel alone when it comes to hardships. It would also give them a chance to discuss their own experiences and what they’re feeling at the time. The seminar would be like a support group meeting basically. Also along with the apartment complex each parent would be required to finish school and work part-time to support their child in exchange for assistance with utilities. No rent will be required. This will give each parent a sense of the real world by taking responsibility and living as an adult instead of just offering everything to them with no requirements which is very much unreal in this world. Having a job will also help to keep each parent off welfare and out of the system, so they can learn to depend on themselves, and not the government, to take care of their child.
As you can see I have a lot of big ideas for my area, but I have no clue where to start. Please, Tyra, show me how to get started with my program.

Greetings;
My father was the best. No one could ever ask for more in a single father. He passed away on January 17, 2008. He left my world devastated.
My father was always there for me. From a child to college to becoming a mother. He was a great father and an even better granddaughter to his 9 year old granddaughter Tatianna.
When I was 8 months pregnant he suffered a massive heart attack and had a triple bypass, open-heart surgery. He wasn’t expected to recover. But, he knew that I still needed him and he stayed with me for another 9 years. That was all he could hang on to.
He put me through college and bought me groceries and helped with my rent in my first place. He taught my daughter how to tie her shoes and made her school projects. Took her to all of her Brownie meetings as he did to me. He often confused our names but we answered to both .
My parents divorced when I was 9 months old and my father began to raise me alone since then. I am even named after him. My mother was in her own world with drinking and drugs. He did remarry once after that but e realized that there was not enough room in his life for two women so he chose to completely devote himself to me.
I am who I am today because of him, so is my daughter. We miss him so much and a huge void has been placed in our lives and our hearts.
I was able to have Masonic ceremony for him; he served as a Mason/Shriner for 28 years. His final wishes were to be scattered t sea between New York where he served for the Department of Defense for 24 years and Puerto Rico where he was born.
My father lost communication with his family; therefore neither I nor my daughter has ever had the opportunity to meet with his side of the family. His father passed before he was born and his mother before I was born. He has one sister and nieces and nephews that I have never met. Now with him gone we would love to be able to have family close.
Your help would be appreciated and heartfelt for the rest of our lives.
Sincerely,
Victoria and Tatianna.

We unite the world. In one night we bring over 70 cultures together in one amazing event for the past 25 years. Night of All Nations (NOAN) is the largest cultural gathering in Northern Nevada. We bring in thousands of undergraduate and graduate students, families in our community, as well as local high school students. They indulge in a night of international entertainment, food, and art. We promote diversity and understanding of differences. Martin Luther King Jr. once said “We must learn to stand together as brothers or perish together as fools.” Our little club (International Club) chooses to stand together by uniting nations. Not many can say that.
Our event has grown over the past years to become the widely recognized student run event on the University of Nevada, Reno campus. A group of dedicated students spend the greater part of the school year planning and preparing for NOAN. With the yearlong preparation, this one night brings the community and university together to celebrate cultures from around the world.
Night of All Nations is a unique event; bringing great opportunities for community businesses within in the community to become involved. There are many sponsoring opportunities that would allow businesses reach nearly 4,000 attendees of NOAN. Please help us bring the world to the University of Nevada, Reno on April 4th.

Hi my name is Madeline and I just turned 20. I have always wanted to go to Africa and volunteer. Fortunately I have found an organization to volunteer with and I am going march 20th! I will be in Knysna, South Africa and what I will be doing is working in the local hospital with HIV orphans. There are so many children in the HIV ward and not enough adults to give them the nurture they need to develope into emotionally mature people, I will be giving them that touch and nurture they need so desperatley. The only problem is that it is quite expensive to travel, even if you are volunteering. My expenses include airfare, houseing, travel insurence and other odd cost. I have written to many churches and organizations with some help being offered but not enough to get me there. I am saving all I can on my own but would love any support that could be offered. Thank you!

Hi Tyra,
My name is Brittany and I'm from Charlotte NC. I sometimes go by the nick name Beauty. One thing I've always wanted to do was have my own photo shoot and who understands me better than you on that topic. My dream career is to become a model but I think I'm too short and a little too thick. If you can please help me out and make my wish come true!!!

What's up Tyra,
I was watching your show the other night and you asked if there's a wish that your fans have, that we can email it to you. Well, my wish is to go to an art school. There is a well-known, credible art college in Detroit. It is called CCS, College of Creative Studies. I am 21 years old and I want to be a graphic designer/animation. I know it is hard to make a living as as artist and going to a school that is one of the top 10 in the country, I have a good chance in succeeding! My dad is retired from Ford Motor Company, and it is hard to get by with one salary. As you know, Michigan's economy is not doing so well and many lost their jobs. I thank you for giving me the chance to state my wish. I want to tell you that I always thought you are soo pretty, and I enjoy watching America's Next Top Model and your show. You are very unique and talented. Hopefully someday I could meet you!

HI Tyra,
My name is Sancious King,I'm 20yrs old. And I want to start off by sayin that I've enjoyed watching your episodes of the Tyra Show. But the reason i am writing you is because i am in love with the boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and any information I can find out about him I would read it. I love to watch him box. I've always wanted to see him live, be right there on the side of the ring cheering him on. I know that he's 30 and there's a 10 year difference but i'm a grown woman. well not all the ways because i planned for my 21st birthday in Septemeber i was goin to fly to Las Vegas Nevada and find my man. no i'm not a stalker i just want to run into him and start conversation. And Tyra I am one of the greatest women that god has placed on this earth , because i can do anything. I love to cook, clean and take care of myself and who ever is in my life. Any relationship i've ever been in i've never asked him for anything cause i'm just not like that. I am the sweetest person you will ever meet and i'm down to earth and easy to get alone with. But for some reason every guy i've held a relationship cheated on me and now I've been dealing with trust issues. Tyra I am about to give birth to lil boy this month by my ex boyfriend thats in the army. and the reason i broke up with him is because i had this feeling and goin to church i got a message and i just had to cut him loose and ever since then all these things i didnt know about him just came out. And i am so hurt, I never want to be in this situation where i would be a single parent because I've always planned to fall in love and and get married and then have my baby's and live happily ever after. But now i have this situation on my hands and i'm not goin to let this stop me from achieving anything. But to get back on my subject about Floyd. I just always felt as if i was to sit down and hold a conversation with him face to face and hold his attention i could get him and interest and we go on from there. I want that man he is my dream man and if i cant get him i wish to find some one like him. Cause I just love his confidence, attitude, strenght,style because he dress so sharp oh and that gorgeous smile. I talk to my momma and sistas about that man almost everyday...I had a dream about us being together and i didnt want to wake up. So Tyra can you PPLLEEAASSEE!!! with Tyra cherries on top help a gurl meet the love of her life. I thank you for taking the time out to read my letter and if u cant help i'll just have to go on my search on my own.

Dear Tyra,
I have so many ideas that I would like to bring to life in my area, but I don’t know how to get started. I watched your show today about teenage pregnancies and I could relate to your guests because I had my first child at a very young age, and I decided to keep my child, but it wasn’t easy for me. I had a great struggle and presently I am still not in great standing, but I take it day by day. Since my struggle I have always wanted to start a program for teen mothers in my area because there are so many who don’t have a place to go or the skills to take care of a child. I, myself, was fortunate enough to have my mom and grandma to show me how to care for a child, but many young teens don’t have someone supporting them in that way, so I came up with the idea to start a program in which teen mothers could get the essential skills needed to care for a child by offering shelter, classes, seminars, etc. I would like to have an apartment complex rented out to strictly teen parents so no teen mother will be out on the street with a baby. In addition to having a place to stay, birthing classes and seminars will be given so teens can learn the basics to taking care of a child (although nothing is really simple when caring for a child). The seminars would be for the parents to go to to listen to other teen parents tell their story because its always good to have someone to relate to because none of us like to feel alone when it comes to hardships. It would also give them a chance to discuss their own experiences and what they’re feeling at the time. The seminar would be like a support group meeting basically. Also along with the apartment complex each parent would be required to finish school and work part-time to support their child in exchange for assistance with utilities. No rent will be required. This will give each parent a sense of the real world by taking responsibility and living as an adult instead of just offering everything to them with no requirements which is very much unreal in this world. Having a job will also help to keep each parent off welfare and out of the system, so they can learn to depend on themselves, and not the government, to take care of their child.
As you can see I have a lot of big ideas for my area, but I have no clue where to start. Please, Tyra, show me how to get started with my program.

Greetings;
My father was the best. No one could ever ask for more in a single father. He passed away on January 17, 2008. He left my world devastated.
My father was always there for me. From a child to college to becoming a mother. He was a great father and an even better granddaughter to his 9 year old granddaughter Tatianna.
When I was 8 months pregnant he suffered a massive heart attack and had a triple bypass, open-heart surgery. He wasn’t expected to recover. But, he knew that I still needed him and he stayed with me for another 9 years. That was all he could hang on to.
He put me through college and bought me groceries and helped with my rent in my first place. He taught my daughter how to tie her shoes and made her school projects. Took her to all of her Brownie meetings as he did to me. He often confused our names but we answered to both .
My parents divorced when I was 9 months old and my father began to raise me alone since then. I am even named after him. My mother was in her own world with drinking and drugs. He did remarry once after that but e realized that there was not enough room in his life for two women so he chose to completely devote himself to me.
I am who I am today because of him, so is my daughter. We miss him so much and a huge void has been placed in our lives and our hearts.
I was able to have Masonic ceremony for him; he served as a Mason/Shriner for 28 years. His final wishes were to be scattered t sea between New York where he served for the Department of Defense for 24 years and Puerto Rico where he was born.
My father lost communication with his family; therefore neither I nor my daughter has ever had the opportunity to meet with his side of the family. His father passed before he was born and his mother before I was born. He has one sister and nieces and nephews that I have never met. Now with him gone we would love to be able to have family close.
Your help would be appreciated and heartfelt for the rest of our lives.
Sincerely,
Victoria and Tatianna.

We unite the world. In one night we bring over 70 cultures together in one amazing event for the past 25 years. Night of All Nations (NOAN) is the largest cultural gathering in Northern Nevada. We bring in thousands of undergraduate and graduate students, families in our community, as well as local high school students. They indulge in a night of international entertainment, food, and art. We promote diversity and understanding of differences. Martin Luther King Jr. once said “We must learn to stand together as brothers or perish together as fools.” Our little club (International Club) chooses to stand together by uniting nations. Not many can say that.
Our event has grown over the past years to become the widely recognized student run event on the University of Nevada, Reno campus. A group of dedicated students spend the greater part of the school year planning and preparing for NOAN. With the yearlong preparation, this one night brings the community and university together to celebrate cultures from around the world.
Night of All Nations is a unique event; bringing great opportunities for community businesses within in the community to become involved. There are many sponsoring opportunities that would allow businesses reach nearly 4,000 attendees of NOAN. Please help us bring the world to the University of Nevada, Reno on April 4th.

Hi my name is Madeline and I just turned 20. I have always wanted to go to Africa and volunteer. Fortunately I have found an organization to volunteer with and I am going march 20th! I will be in Knysna, South Africa and what I will be doing is working in the local hospital with HIV orphans. There are so many children in the HIV ward and not enough adults to give them the nurture they need to develope into emotionally mature people, I will be giving them that touch and nurture they need so desperatley. The only problem is that it is quite expensive to travel, even if you are volunteering. My expenses include airfare, houseing, travel insurence and other odd cost. I have written to many churches and organizations with some help being offered but not enough to get me there. I am saving all I can on my own but would love any support that could be offered. Thank you!

Hi Tyra,
My name is Brittany and I'm from Charlotte NC. I sometimes go by the nick name Beauty. One thing I've always wanted to do was have my own photo shoot and who understands me better than you on that topic. My dream career is to become a model but I think I'm too short and a little too thick. If you can please help me out and make my wish come true!!!
Bye: Beauty

What's up Tyra,
I was watching your show the other night and you asked if there's a wish that your fans have, that we can email it to you. Well, my wish is to go to an art school. There is a well-known, credible art college in Detroit. It is called CCS, College of Creative Studies. I am 21 years old and I want to be a graphic designer/animation. I know it is hard to make a living as as artist and going to a school that is one of the top 10 in the country, I have a good chance in succeeding! My dad is retired from Ford Motor Company, and it is hard to get by with one salary. As you know, Michigan's economy is not doing so well and many lost their jobs. I thank you for giving me the chance to state my wish. I want to tell you that I always thought you are soo pretty, and I enjoy watching America's Next Top Model and your show. You are very unique and talented. Hopefully someday I could meet you!
Love, Christina from Michigan
