Katie had lived in Woodstock since she was three. The idea of moving to California started with Katie's mom. She thought it was good for Katie to learn art if they moved there.
When her mom suggested moving, Katie had many questions and things to care about. She wondered if she would have any friends in California. She thought it was a pretty big thing, because kids at this age started to make friends that they were probably going to have for the rest of their lives. Another big question was her cat because the sign on her new house said "No Pets". After much arguing, Katie finally gave up keeping her!
It took Katie some time to get used to the new school after she moved. At first, she didn't know where anything was and she was often late for class. The worst was that she didn't know anybody. However, Katie tried to do well in school, and she took part in many activities to make friends.
Katie's big move wasn't always easy, but she thought it was worth it. She was very happy with the new school, because it offered many programs that her old one didn't have. And she got on well with her friends. Katie was living a happy life in California. Although there will be lots of difficulties and troubles along the road, we can get through them as long as we're patient, and have a positive attitude (态度).
