Her birthday is on Miss American Rose Day (October 20th). Her favorite subject in school is math. She enjoys dancing and playing with dolls. She sends her "thanks with all her heart, a strong hug and a kiss."

Rosa's father has abandoned the family (Rosa, her mother, brother, and sister). Her favorite subjects in school are math, science, and wriging. Rosa likes to play with dolls, sing, dance, draw,  and help at home by mopping and washing clothes. She lives in a concrete block wall home with a corrugated metal roof and concrete floor.
She enjoys school and enjoys learning to read and write.
