Hello All.... Another week at Urban Connection has come and gone. This week, I had the pleasure of connecting with a very intelligent young lady. Her name is Nikia Nealy. Nikia is 9 years old. She is a 4th grade A/B honor roll student at Oak Hills Terrace Elementary. While communicating with Nikia she expressed several interests. I learned that she really likes Volleyball. Her favorite colors are red, blue and like most Diva's of course hot pink. I asked Nikia is there anyone that she admires. She first asked me what did I mean by that and after explaining to her what I meant, she then said "I admire my MOM". She said, "I admire my Mom because she is always there for me to do all the important things that I need and she will never let me down...I LOVE my MOM!" Nikia also said that she likes coming over to the Frank Garrett Community Center. She said she has lots of fun and we help them with the things they ask us to do. I love being able to be a positive influence on the lives of children and letting them know that you can be whoever or whatever you want to be in life with the right guidance and influences. Thank you Urban for allowing us to make a difference in young lives!!!!!
