Katrina is a very likable, inquisitive, bright, and friendly teen. She has a great sense of humor and an obvious love of life. Her passions are academics and animals. She owns a 10-month old cat, cares for her foster family’s bunny, and enjoys the dogs in the home. Katrina says that she would like to own a pet pig or maybe a king cobra. Katrina likes to read and write. She hopes to be a published author some day, but not as a career. Katrina hope to be a “brain surgeon or a lawyer”! Katrina is well on her way to making this happen, and is even in the talented and gifted program at school.
Katrina likes to go camping, swimming, and ice skating. She says her skills on skates are “fair to average,” but she would love to have lessons to improve them. She also thinks karate lessons might be fun. Katrina enjoys the computer, watching cartoons on television, and horror movies. Katrina’s favorite food is orange chicken and her favorite restaurant is Noodles. Katrina thinks a vacation to Antarctica would be her first choice for a vacation spot because it would be different and she likes cold weather and snow. She has never been snow skiing, but really wants to try it. Katrina thinks an ideal family would have “a good sense of humor, love pets, be active, and provide a ton of family interaction.” Katrina believes families should be people you can trust and count on in times of need. She would like a room of her own so that she has “her own space.” Katrina knows how important it is to have a family, and would love to have a parent or parents who she can share her thoughts and feelings with.
