Kasia's biography

My name is Kasia. I was born in the small town of Pilzno, located in the south of Poland, where I graduated from both primary school and high school. I grew up during a time that was very tragic for the Polish people, constantly facing the difficulties of a Communist political and economic system. Nonetheless, I was able to have a productive and happy childhood. Early in my life, I displayed strong musical abilities and was able to learn how to play the piano, sing and dance; later, I was able to use these skills to teach other children dancing as a volunteer. Additionally, despite the fact that my family was poor, the good environment of my household taught me to be strong and independent and this has helped me throughout my life. Moreover, my parents taught me how to forgive, which is necessary for getting along with other people. My very open-minded father also helped me develop a passion for different cultures, languages, art, economy and history. Because of my parents’ dedication to my learning, I was able to travel a lot and had great opportunities to perceive old and new civilizations alike.

My interests lead me further in the fields of economics and politics, and I therefore pursued business during college. Despite working part-time as a Assistant Manager in a wholesale firm, I consistently demonstrated a high level of excellence in my studies as a full-time student. After graduating in February 2000, I worked as a Sales Coordinator for a Brokerage Trust. This position required me to work closely with Bank Executives and customers to facilitate their loan transactions.

I continued to develop a deeper understanding of the types of skills necessary for communication with different groups of people for different business- related matters.
I feel that I was able to apply my academic knowledge while performing administration and sales support associated with account maintenance. After holding this position, I further improved my abilities working in a Bursar’s Office and finally, by starting my own business, which has been a wonderful experience for me. The challenge of managing individuals provides me with a fine sense of motivation; I also pride myself on being able to work effectively and responsibly.

My passion and curiosity for different cultures, lifestyles, economic and political systems brought me to Unites States. I am highly motivated to utilize my developing English language skills as a student in Cambridge College, and I am likewise eager to continue learning more about America’s people and cultures. I am very grateful for the opportunity to continue my education and development in Cambridge College.
