Rosemary Mancia is a 15-year-old girl who attends Birmingham Community Charter High School. She came from a small school and none of her close friends went to the same school as her. She had some people she knew from her old school but they weren’t friends. She made new friends and loves where she is now and the people she has around her.  Rosemary was born in Van Nuys and lived there until she was six. She then moved to Oregon with her aunt for a year, and then she moved to Bakersfield when she was seven and loved it there because it was quiet and peaceful.  After moving around so much, her parents finally decided to settle down, and she moved back to Van Nuys and has been living there ever since. Although she loved living in new places, she always missed home because that’s where her family was.

Her mom is Mexican/Americ.
