Ivanna C. was born on March 1st, 2010, at noon in Pasadena, Texas. Nine years earlier, her mom and dad, Rosy and Luis Cadena Jr. had her older brother, Luis III, and three years later, they had her older sister Michelle. When Ivanna was born, her family was doing great; they had just moved into a new house, which she still lives in today. About three months later, Ivanna's aunt had Ivanna’s cousin/best friend Renatta. They were inseparable, but they also fought all the time. Ivanna’s family is the best thing in her life, and she doesn't know where she would be without them.

All of Ivanna’s life, music has filled her ears. Ivanna’s dad comes from a long line of generations where music is everything, so her great-grandpa taught him while he was young. Her dad is now an influencer with over 100k subscribers. He also plays in a band that plays at parties like weddings, quinceañeras, and any type of social event. Ivanna’s parents love that she is involved in the choir at WAMS (Woodland Acres Middle School).

 Some of the accomplishments that she has achieved are being in the gifted and talented program for the past eight years. She has been in the NJHS (National Junior Honor Society) since her sixth-grade year and is currently participating in her last year as an eighth-grader at WAMS. Ivanna is known to be an A Honor roll student all her life, and she is very proud of that. She has many academic awards but also has outside achievements. 

Ivanna has many goals in life. Some of her goals are graduating high school, going to college on a full ride, and maybe even going to study abroad. Although she sometimes gets exhausted and thinks about giving up at times she hasn't yet and hopes she never will. Ivanna is very hard-working and does not let anything get in the way of her accomplishing her dreams. She is very determined to accomplish them and is working so hard to achieve them every day.
