I have always been very big into extracurriculars and just personal fun. I have always been mainly into sports, cooking, and music. But obviously a big part of me was keeping up with school. Always had As until 9th grade but still stuck up with school keeping good grades.
Hey, I'm Imani! I'm a 16-year-old from Chester and I'm the oldest of five siblings. I've been babysitting since I was old enough to take care of others - from tiny babies to big kids around 7 or 8 years old. I'm all about having a good time and love to laugh and crack jokes with my friends and family. I'm a pretty laid-back and fun person to be around!
