Tyra I always wanted to be a supermodel. I'm afraid I'm too old now though.I'm 37, but people tell me I could pass for 27. I first began modeling as a teen, however shortly after graduating from modeling school I became a teen mom. I later got married and had another child. During my marriage my husband then would always tell me I could not make it as a model and I always wanted to prove him wrong. I believe he was just jealous of all the attention I would get. He always wanted to be the center of attention. I was offered a chance to go to Paris twice before I got pregnant but my mother would not accept the offers. Maybe I would have never gotten pregnant. I was always told that I would make a good runway model even though I was facinated by Print Modeling. I wanted to be on magazines. I wrote you in another section about getting a better bust. I'm getting back with my ex-husband after a 7 year divorce. I have dreamed about being in a professional photo shoot and doing a professional runway show with some of the top models. Years ago I sent letters to other shows but never heard anything. It would be great to get an answer from someone who really cares. Thanks Tyra for presenting the opportunity. Love Lolita

Hello Tyra:
I have alot of things I always wanted to do. I've always wanted to meet Jamie Foxx, get my own soul food restaurant and buy me a home. I was going to do most of that but I had an heart transplant and had to stop working. I've been looking for work, I've also been taking care of other people kids, but I will get my wishes very soon because I keep my faith in God. I'm also trying to lose weight, and want a man who I can share some of my time with. Take care Janet

Tyra, all I have ever wanted to do is, as a mother let my children live out their dreams. My 15 year old daughter loves you and your show. All she can talk about is being Americans' Next Top Model. She watches the show faithfully, she has turned down a trip to the movie to watch your show. She has struggled with low self esteem, due to the stupidity of others call ing her names like blacky and stick. She is a lovable and beautiful young lady. ANd I would really love to see her live out her dream to model. She has recently showed a interest in fashion design which I plan to let her design and make my next dress. In closing Tyra, all I really want is for my daughter to have the opportunity to live out her dream.

Sincerely,
A Very Proud Single Parent,

Nicole

Hey Tyra!
First I want to say that you are a role model to me. I have always wanted to be a model but I don't know how to fulfill my dream. I am 19 years old but I will be 20 in March. My husband tells me that I should be a model and there is a woman at work that won't stop asking me if I am ever going to audition for America's Next Top Model. The only thing is, is that I don't like my smile. When I was little I had a lot of ear infections and the medicine that they gave me ate the enamel off my teeth. I don't have the money to get my teeth fixed and me and my husband do not have any kind of health insurance. But I am very thankful for my husband because everyday he tells me that I'm beautiful. Anyways the only reason why I haven't even tried to become a model yet is because of my teeth. Can you please help me?
Love Pamela

I've alwsys wantedd to sip champaign while floating high above in a hot air balloon. My ex-husband never wanted to do anything or go anywhere and would get angry when I would make suggestions to get us out of the rut we were in. Eventually our differences proved too great and we separated and are in the process of getting a divorce. I want to float in that hot air balloon so I can get the feeling of freedom, peace and joy that comes from being so close to God and being able to view a small portion of his vast creation.
Thank you Tyra.

Sincerely,
LaRhonda

But I really want to dedicate my dream to my mother,grandmother, and aunt. These three women made me who I am today and I really want to do something special for them. I graduated from high school I'm going to college and studying to become a Pediatric Nurse or a Pediatriian. I really would love if you could help me with please and thank you.

Love,
Ariel M. Hill

My name is Laura and I live in Liberal, the land of Oz! I loved your show you had with Mario! I watch your show when I get a chance. I stay busy with work and two kids! Well there is lots of things I have always wanted to do but if you could help one come true it would be to make my mom and family happy!

My poor mother this is breaking her heart! She has been through so much with my dad drinking and not helping her around the house! There are leaks all over the house but my dad won't fix them or has the money to get fixed! he called a plumber once and all they supposedly fixed it and put lime down underneath the craw space.I think there's mold! You can see the foundation is cracking and coming down! She hasn't worked over 8 or 9yrs since she hurt herself at work. So money is really tight! She gets really sad and depressed sometimes but tries to stay up for my 8yr old sister. I have asked her to leave home and stay with me! But won't leave her home! I hate that they have to go through this and worries me about their mental and physical health! I wish I had the power and money to give her a big beautiful house and make my bother get help and go to school and father not drink anymore!

My boyfriend tells me to leave it alone but I can't sit and watch my dad keep drinking himself to his death! Ever since I can remember he has had a problem drinking beer! Every night he gets off work he drinks! Since I was a baby I remember writing him notes and drawing pictures and leaving them where he would find them and hoping one might do the trick and he would stop! I have talked to him and told him I believe that he drinks for a reason, that something happened to him and that until he lets it out he won't be able to stop! he started crying and didn't say anything!

Well he hasn't yet and whats worse is that my 19yr old brother is starting to drink and has emotional problems. He has his GED but is not going to college or working. He sleeps all day and stays up all night on the computer! When he gets money or gets a chance he drinks and sometimes blacks out, cries, fights with my dad! I think he's depressed he says he's not but I think he is! I'm really worried about him turning out like my father! He's a really smart person! He loves to write poems, play soccer, play the guitar and is really good with the computer! He has so much potential that it makes me so sad and helpless see him like this! He won't get help or admit that he's depressed.

I have a good job at Bank of America and buying a home just a block behind her! I make enough to get by. For the most part I am happy with my babies and boyfriend or common law husband!

I guess I'm really sensitive or something cause it breaks my heart and I break down and cry alot when nobody is watching! I tried to get my brother help one time because he was really sad and drunk and my mom called me at work scared that he was locked in the bathroom and afraid he was trying to threaten his own life! I called the cops and well its a long story but the judge ordered him to a state mental hospital. But after a week he was released! They said he was not depressed that he had alcohol induced depression nos or something! That he needed rehab! Well they didn't make him go to rehab or made him get therapy and released him home! Shows our system don't work or care! Now he has a big bill from it all and was upset with me! He got over it but still the same!

I need some options, help, guidance, something or anything! I don't want to sit here and do nothing and be sorry later when my father is dying a horrible death from liver damage or my brother I don't even want to imagine what will be of him for not doing nothing!

I know its not your problem and am sorry for bothering you! You come across to me as having a big heart! So I thought maybe you could be my broken hearts hero!


sincerely,
Laura

I have been living my dream life for a couple of years now and would like to share my secrets with one of your guests. Please let me guide one of your guests, preferably a mom, through a plan that will utilize her talents and let her have the personal life she dreams of. Please let me empower one of your guests just as you have done.
