Hi, my name is Katrina but everyone calls me "Katie". I have diabetes which was acquired at the age of 6, when the chicken pox virus attacked the islet cells of my pancreas. I like most athletic activities, including dance (ballet). I also like to listen to music, shop for clothes, and read books. I will be attending a very small college in Rock Island, Illinois, called Augustana College. They have a wonderful pre-med program, and a dance company. I would like to pursue a career in the medical field, but I'm also very interested in art. Perhaps, something like illustration of anatomy manuals or similar is what I want to do.
