Danna Mejia is a 16-year-old junior at Birmingham Community Charter High School. She was born on June 1, 2009, in Los Angeles, California. Danna is the only child but has two half-brothers.  Danna enjoys playing volleyball. In middle school, even though she wasn’t on the team, she would always practice with them. She often wishes she had an older sibling she could look up to. 

Her dream is to either work in the medical field or be a real estate agent. Her family doesn’t have a lot of money, and she sees them struggling. So the main reason why she wants to get into real estate is so that she can provide for her family in the future. If she were to work in the medical field, she would either want to be a nurse or an ultrasound technician. She would like to go to community college because she can´t afford to go straight to a four-year college. She saw her mom go from community college to university. She wants to follow in her mom’s footsteps so that she can get a bachelor’s degree. 

She enjoys taking long walks while listening to music. Her favorite music artists are J. Cole, Jenni Rivera, Mozzy, Nipsey Hussle, and many more. Danna has always been an outgoing person. She loves having parties with her family and hanging out with her friends, but what she enjoys more is being with her dog Zimba, a 3-year-old pomeranian. She is a really quiet person, but once you get to know her, she is very sociable.  When she is not at school, she is either at home with her dog or going to eat with her friends. She grew up as an only child, but she always spends time with her friends and family.
