Imani Jackson
Imani went from doing really well in school to struggling in 9th and 10th grade. Imani was struggling with mental health issues and finding it difficult to manage school pressures. Imani committed to working on getting back on track and has done just that! Imani did amazingly during 11th grade, and now as a Senior, continues to do well. It’s been a pleasure to see Imani do the work required to accomplish the goals of feeling better emotionally and improving in school. Way to go, Imani!
