Kerri Gets Worried

Kerri works really hard at everything she does. She does all of her work at school, she practices the flute every day for an hour and she plays as hard as she can at every soccer game. Lots of people tell her she is a really good kid and her parents are really proud of her.

But sometimes she still gets worried.

She always gets A's on her report cards. She has won awards at her flute recitals. She usually scores a goal or two every game and always gets trophies at the end of the season. People tell her "Good Job!" almost every day.

But sometimes she still gets worried.

Once at school, she got an answer wrong on a test. During a recital once, she missed a note in a song. One time, during a soccer game, another player checked her and then scored a goal. After each of these things, she cried after she got home. Her parents told her not to worry about it, but sometimes she still gets worried.

Questions for Discussion:
1. Why does Kerri get worried?
2. Is it Kerri's job to be the best at everything?
3. What is your job?
