Born in Chicago.
-
My first day of school was when I went to kindergarten. I wore an oversized blue Diego backpack.
-
Transferred to a new school when I was in third grade.
-
This was my fourth time traveling to Poland. I remember going with my grandma and my sister. I was about 10 at the time and my cousins and I would always catch frogs.
-
After almost 15 years of working hard to raise me and my sister. My grandparent finally retired and moved back to their dream homes in Poland.
-
This was our first trip to Florida with my family. My family went to Fort Lauderdale Florida.
-
This was my 5th time traveling to Poland. This was the year lighting struck our house in Poland and the house caught on fire. This was the time I woke to smoke in my room. I called the fire department and quickly came to put out the fire.
-
This was the year my younger sister and I traveled across the world to Poland alone. Every year we would travel with our grandparents but they retired and moved back to Poland. My parents had to work and I knew that I wanted to spend my summers in Poland. So this was the year where we started to travel alone to Poland.
-
This was the second time my younger sister and I traveled to Poland alone. I remember that year our pilot saw us eat U.S. candy and approached and asked if he could try apiece. This was the time I first drove a car.
-
When my sister and I were in Poland that year, my parents wanted to surprise us when we got back home. My mom couldn't wait long so 3 days before our return to the U.S. my mom taught us a dog and called us on facetime to show us her.
-
This year my family traveled to my friend's house in Florida. I went kayaking in natural springs with very clear water.
-
One day after my volleyball club. As my mom was about to park the car we smelled something burning. I got out of the car and looked around. I saw that my neighborhood main garage door was turning brown. As I got closer I noticed smoke coming from the room. I tried calling 911 but my phone dint work. Coincidently my friend from volleyball was walking through the same alley and I asked to use her phone to call 911.
-
This year we traveled to Poland again with my sister. We logged another 2 months in Poland and spent one of the best summers with my cousins.
-
That year my family traveled to another friend's house where we got to fish in the channels. We got to enjoy daily ocean sunsets. I got to see a few dolphins.
-
This was the year I graduated from elementary school. I was given the opportunity to read a speech in polish.
-
My first day of high school was very memorable. As my mom was driving me to school a guy rear-ended our car. Miraculously I was only 5 minutes late to my class.
-
This year my family rented out a nice house near Tampa Florida. We got to take our dog with us. The most memorable moments were going on a secluded island and watching the sunset.
-
This would be the end of our Poland travel streak. I got to practice a lot of volleyball and soccer with my cousins and friends.
-
My mom hadn't traveled to Poland in almost 10 years. Her whole family lives there. That year when my sister and I were in Poland my mom unexpectedly flew in from across the world telling only her sister she was coming. One day as we walk into my grandma's house my aunt told me to turn around and my mom popped out.
-
This is one of the crazier experiences in my life. I remember watching the news and hearing about 48 cases in china. Forward a few months countries started to go on lockdown. Soon after people from schools started to get sick forcing everyone to go on lockdown and that's when virtual school started.
