This is who I am...I’m still at the point where I am trying to decide who I am. I am, Imani Marie Smith, a student at UCLA and proud to say. Growing up both in city and country, to a mother of two. I’m a strong African American young lady who strives to be the best and fulfill my goals of having a successful future. I question who I am, because so many try to shape me to their satisfaction. I’m a people pleaser, and I’m realizing this is my down fall. Deep down, I posses the quality of a motivational speaker and enjoy presenting doing so.This is what I do…I‘m sports orientated; basketball, football and just recently I rowing. I help with many volunteer services and toy drives. I try to make my surroundings comfortable while with me, I love to help kids and people that are less fortunate; helping them gives them hope and confidence to show their full potential in positive acts. I set specific goals for myself to make progress; I feel its necessary to learn new things about myself and how much one can learn in life. I get my own and other people priorities confused, especially academically, I try to assist others get focus on school rather than handling my own school issues first, later realizing that I need to focus to stay where I am.This is why I do it… I do it because I feel some accomplishment, everyone needs guidance, and a better perspective. No one is perfect including myself and everyone needs a second opinion on life decisions, because life is a struggle. I feel I’m here to open more doors for those who’ve came in contact with me and need a helping hand. It satisfies myself, and others benefit from it also that’s just my goal when I help others. I do it to take away from things I may have done wrong and to make up for my wrong doings. I do it because it’s WHO I AM. I am Imani Marie Smith.
