This is what Katherine wrote in the first part of her new book, Rock What You've Got. Katherine is now a student at the University of Southern California. This is her first book.
Like most common girls, Katherine had worries about her size and shape when she was a younger girl. That made her very unhappy. In the book, she says when she grows up, she finds out that what really makes her happy is not how fit she looks, but how much she loves.
Katherine also wants to encourage（鼓励）them to love their bodies, love themselves, stay healthy, and most of all, be confident.
