Czesc!

Hi, I’m Serena! I’m super excited to meet you all this summer and share this experience, it’s going to be crazy. I’m from Washington state but go to school at New York University, where someone in my major, applied psychology, told me about Learning Enterprises. I applied on a whim, got very attached to the idea of going before the first interview, and now thankfully here I am! The English language is something that fascinates me and I love that we are all going to be able to share the language of America, and increasingly more of the world, with Poland. I’m teaching 6-12 year olds in Tarnow, and I can’t wait to see their little shining Polish faces on the first day. I am very proud of the fact that I am a whole 1/8th Polish myself; hopefully this trip will allow me to connect to 1/8th of my roots. It seems like the Polish people have a very unique culture, and to say that their country has been through a lot is a vast understatement, so I’m excited to learn, about Poland and other things, as well as teach. I’ve also never been to Europe, or much of anywhere depending on your opinion of Canada, so I’m thrilled to just be there in general as well. Till then, I plan to figure out more classroom games, decide what appropriately represents America that I can bring my host family, and learn to pronounce all those Polish consonants. See you all in June!

Serena
