Or your mind was just filled with so many thoughts that you had to start writing about it to see if you can make any sense of it, and before you know it you have created your own story? We all have a creative side to us which evuavle to having many talents.

 Nkiyasi shared:
 
  One of my goals includes utilizing Written By Kids Publishing Company to provide a conduit for other young people to share their insight on youth related issues from a child’s perspective.  Writing and Speaking are my passion, and I plan on using these skills to share my motivational messages with the world. These messages can help open a dialogue on issues that can sometimes be difficult to discuss.
  I enjoy talking with young people between the ages of 10 and 17 about issues such as confidence, obesity and bullying. 

I am very proud of our young talent, but I hope she does her homework, because I will have some tough questions. Go to www.blogtalkradio.com/register.aspx for a free account to get in the chat room. See you there!
