Jess, age 11, responds to the story The White Tiger:

Tell about something you practiced for a long time. What did you achieve?
Jess: I practiced horse riding for a long time, now I'm way better at it than I was.

If you practiced something you wanted for a long time and don't achieve it, was it worth it?
Jess: Yes, because you can still keep practicing.

Comments?
Jess: I thought the story was very interesting and different.
