Starting in middle school, I failed 6th and 7th grade, and barely was able to pass and graduate 8th grade. But, in the beginning of high school, I finally woke up from the dream I was living in. I realized that college is just around the corner and that I need to really work hard for what I deserve. The 9th grade was a significant turning point in my life, I utilized tutoring whenever I didn’t understand the concepts in class, stayed extra hours after school, and I tried to plan, to the best of my ability, all my homework, tests, and projects. Overall, my grades in high school do not fully reflect my academic ability or potential because I know what I am capable of, but due to flaws in my characteristics that I am constantly trying to improve on, and adapt to, my grades right now, do not reflect all of my academic ability or potential.

My dad is the only one that works and money is and always is tight. I have moved to smaller and smaller houses to the point where my family moved in with my grandma, where I currently reside, because money was so tight, and the debt was so high. Early in the year of 2015, my Dad got a new, better job at Wal-mart, and our financial status isn’t

Ever since I was a young child, I attended International Schools. As a result of attending such schools, I began to feel more of a third culture child in my own country, rather than a normal Polish girl. I began to feel as if I was not fully from one place, but that I was from multiple locations, even though I lived in Warsaw my whole life. Being surrounded by people from different backgrounds and from all around the world taught me to be open-minded, to be aware that everyone has their own story and it gave me an international perspective.

Which were meeting new people, marketing myself, and improving the qualities I lack in. Beforehand, I wasn’t really intrigued in getting involved, expanding myself as a person, and trying to get my name out in the real world.

Until I began researching, attending workshops, listening to my professors, and realizing that it is not about the grades you make, more like the hands you shake.
