Logo

This picture was drawn by one of Katina's students as a gift to her. It has a very special meaning.

Not only is it a thoughtful and wonderful piece of art, it is also symbolic to our lives.

What Katina see's is this young girl with a disassembled robot with pieces scatter all over. It could be broken or a new design.

This young lady has a box of tools and a plan to put the pieces together.

“A Manifestation of Greatness!”
