Dear Blog,
                              A few days ago my father had surgery. The reason why he had surgery is because he had something called a Hernia. A Hernia is when a organ or tissue goes through a weak spot in a mussel or something like that. Fortunately my father got it fixed before it got to bad and  life-threatening  He is recovering pretty well though it looked pretty painful. His surgery also went smooth.  My dad was walking right after he got surgery (he is not supposed to)! Isn't that crazy? Anyway I have been praying for him and will continued to do so until he is fully recovered.  I have been doing whatever I can to make sure his recovery will be successful.  He is supposed  to not go to work physically because he is in construction so instead he is on his computer working like always instead of resting.                                                                                                                                                    -Nkiyasi Helm

Dear Blog Viewers,




                             Today I had an O.K day not the best, but it was O.K.  Not much to say because all I did was basically clean and organize my room.  I have school tomorrow.  I can't believe time went by so quickly.  I like school and I like to learn, but it is nice to have a break every once and a while.  I really wanted my best friend to come over but she moved to a different school and I have not seen her since, and that makes me feel a bit sad.

Dear Blog,

                       Today I am about  to go to work with my dad!  We woke up early this morning so that I could get ready and eat breakfast.  I love going to work with my dad because I learn many new things that will contribute to my life when I am older.  When I get back I will tell you how it went.  We are ready for take off bye!

Dear Blog,



                          This break so far has been OK many family-friends have come over, we had a good time. I have gotten through many chapters of the book I have been reading over break.  I also have a math packet due that I need to finish on Algebra, Histograms, line plots and more.   So I have many things to do to keep me busy, plus I need to organize my closet ..................................AGAIN including folding clothes and organizing shoes! I changed my room around so I might as well do it anyway. Guess what?  My birthday is in less than a month 23 days to be exact, so I am very excited.

Dear Blog,



                             I had a wonderful weekend! My best friend came over and we had a wonderful time together.  It was nice to see her again because I haven't seen her in 2 years! We were friends since 3rd grade.  Plus to make it even better Friday we did not have school and all next week we are on break!

Dear Blog,
                             Today I had a pretty good day.  I got 100% on my reading test and I am pretty confident I also got an A on my grammar test.  Remember that writing contest I entered, well I didn't win but that's OK all I can do is try my best.  I started reading a new series called "The Benedict Society" by Trenton Lee Stewart.  So far it is an exceptional book but I still have a tremendous amount  of pages I still need to read.  I cant wait to see what happens next though!

Dear Blog,

                    Remember the event I told you about yesterday at Eagle Village.  Well it went great!  I had such a wonderful time it is a beautiful place that helps kids. Today when I went back to school and now I have a ton of work to do since I missed school.  My new all time favorite singer is Tracy Chapman. Guess what?  Today students in my 6th grade classrooms loved my books they just kept admiring me and Bully A Bully With Love.  My best seller!   I kept it humble with the compliments that people gave to me.  Today was a wonderful day I hope you had one too.

Dear Blog,


                            I am very sorry about not keeping up with my Blog.  I have been preparing for my first Black History month speaking engagement and it is today.  Hopefully all of the preparing and hard work will pay off I have 20 minutes to present and I am pretty confident I will do great.  I prayed and prayed last night for strength and guidance.

                                                          Wish me good luck!

Dear Blog,
                      Today I got feed back from one of the teachers at my school he told me that his 6th grade students loved my book Bully A Bully With Love.  When he told the students who wrote the book they were AWED! They really enjoyed it and that made me feel very Proud of myself!  Tomorrow is a party day for The Example of Excellence people! I am one of them. The AWESOMENESS continues.

Dear Blog,
    Today I had a wonderful day!  Though sometimes I feel that nobody understands me or nobody is listening, but I know that I always have my family.  Today in school we learned about homophones and double bar graphs I flew right through it!  I love school, when I got home I relaxed in my room did homework and listened to Bob Marley (another one of my favorite singers) and just relaxed with my family and stayed warm and cozy reading to my baby sister.

Dear Blog,




                    Hiya, yesterday was the best day of my life!  first of all I was on a world renowned radio station called "The Reading Circle with Marc Medley!" It went Perfectly and I had a great time too.  Then afterwards we had a very special dinner, since I accomplished so much my mother made our favorite dinner.  I have discovered another one of my favorite singers..............ANGIE STONE she has such a wonderful voice more people should check her out.  This summer I am going to Leadership Camp for Two weeks in Kentucky how AWESOME is that?

Dear Blog,

               Today I had an awesome day I made it to the 6th grade Geography bee but I didn't win and that's OK the only thing I could do was my best!  I have such wonderful fiends they cheered me right on to the finish even though I did not win they gave me a thumbs up and a pat on the back.  This week I have been very busy so this weekend I am not going to stress I am just going to relax and listen to Maxwell!

                     Have a good weekend...
