1. The Determined Kitty

3. Katrina’s parents always warned her that it would not be easy pursuing her dreams. They told her that she would encounter many obstacles and deterrents but that anything worth having would take determination, perseverance, and even sacrifices.

4. Poor little Katrina Kitty did not understand why her parents would constantly tell her that, but she just agreed and went on with her daily tasks. She thought to herself, why would it be hard to achieve my goals.

5. Katrina went to school everyday and after school she would practice her ballet dance for two hours. She knew she needed to practice everyday if she wanted to be a great dancer.

6. New cats on the block
Two new kitty students arrived at Katrina’s school during the year. When they arrived, everyone knew who they were because they were trouble makers and the rumors quickly spread through the school.

7. Katrina heard the rumors and chose not to judge the new students based on rumors. She decided that she will befriend them and show everyone they were wrong. She believed that everyone deserved a new start even if the rumors were true.

8. The next day at school Katrina approached the new students during recess. They all introduced each other and began to tell each other their interests and likes.

9. When it was Katrina’s turn, she started telling them how much she loved to dance and how long she’s been dancing. She even did a few dance moves and twirled around.

10. As soon as she started dancing, the other two cats began laughing hysterically at her. They embarrassed her and she didn’t understand why they were being so rude to her.
