Chess...

Unfortunately, it took me so long to find the one and exact thing I want to do for my creativity, but I made it and I am extremely happy. I joined the chess club at my school and today was the first meeting. I must admit it is the first time I played chess and I definitely do not regret it. Why I decided to attempt this type of club? First of all, since I remember I have problems with concentration and patience, and this chess club is a perfect opportunity to fulfill some learning outcomes. Such as undertaking new challenges, because it is the first time I learn how to play chess. Develop new skills, which will be patience and concentration mentioned above. Increase my awareness of strengths and areas of growth, as I will be checking my abilities in learning new behaviors. Ultimately show perseverance and commitment in the work I will put in learning this actually hard game and attempting regularly this club. Hope I will manage everything and get some new skills!

New school year...

I can’t believe I am a senior in high school! It will be a big challenge for me, I must admit I am a little bit scared of the number of chores I have to deal with, but I think I will manage all of these tasks. I was busy lately so I could write anything... But I’m here right now and I will keep you updated with my CAS portfolio :)

Just like Tony Hawk...

As many sports as I can do! Skateboarding is another sport I decided to try, well Tony Hawk watch out because soon you will have competition :) But to be honest, for me, it is not that simple as it seems to be. You have to keep balance not to fall, which is actually hard. I fell so many times, I can’t even count them, but it is another experience I gained during this summer!

Let the countdown begin...

I have two sports that I’m totally in love with, the first one is kitesurfing, as you probably already know, and the second one is snowboarding. During every year I have to wait half of the year to do kitesurfing and the other one to do snowboarding. Now, when I am after the summer break and after a lot of kitesurfing I can start the countdown to do some snowboarding. I still remember the first time when I tried this sport. It was 9 years ago and I was determined to learn it but I was falling all the time and I couldn't do it. But after years of practice, I can say that I am pretty good in it and in my future plans I am going to pass exams to be an instructor :)

P.S. I am the first on the right and these are my friends with whom I was during  last winter break

Last memory from my kite experience...

Here is the last post from my kitesurfing memories :) First day of kitesurfing this summer, this is my board ready to be used on the water! I must admit my board behaved itself :)))

Oh Bali, Bali, Bali...

This summer break as well I went to Bali with my family and my best friend. We practiced surfing and I caught some bigger waves than last year, but unfortunately, no one took a photo of me while I was surfing... It doesn’t change anything because I am super proud of myself, I learned how to catch bigger waves not only the ones with foam!! I improved myself in surfing skills and this is the most important thing for me. Hope to learn some more as soon as I can. :)

This is my kite instructor and my best friend as well. He thought me this trick, Backroll, and how to jump and land without falling! :)

Time to reflect...

Now, this is my time to reflect after IB one and so many experiences I gained during this year. I had to face my failures and triumphs, I have to admit that this year was really tough and hard to conquer, but I did it and I am ready to deal with IB two. About my CAS experience, I did a lot to achieve my goals and points on my checklist and I am actually really proud of myself. I know I still have to do a lot, but for now, I am definitely happy about the year that has passed. For this year I have some new ideas, which I want to deal with and I hope everything will go as is it planned in my head!

As many sport as I can do...

During this summer break, I had a chance to finally do some kitesurfing. I went to Rhodes Island, kitesurfing spot called Prasonisi. I spent there a whole month and I learned some new tricks like Backroll. Backroll is a simple 360 in the air, but it gives a lot of fun when the wind is strong so the kite may take you really high! But the wind wasn’t always blowing and during these days I tried to get some windsurfing skills, it didn’t go the way I thought it would, but I also had some fun with that. :)

Fast and furious creativity!

Well, for a long time I didn’t know what my creativity can be, but I forgot that in April this (2017) I got my driving license! I had tough 5 months of driving lessons, some of them were really stressful, but I made it and I passed the exam in the first trial! In the photo attached you can see how good I was, everything positive. I guess I must be a good driver, maybe one day I will just like fast and furious :)

A little bit of service...

Well, for 6 weeks from now I’m going to the primary school, which is situated near the school I’m attempting to. I help kids in different subjects, Biology, English, Mathematics and much much more. They are very cute and are happy for our every visit. I have to add that not only I am going to this school, but few of my friends also are helpful for those young teenagers in doing their homework. I hope I will manage this task until the end of the school year because I have to admit this isn’t an easy job to do!

A typical day...

What an exciting day! Yesterday, after a hard day at school, I went bike riding with my friend Agata Kiernożycka. In Warsaw there is a possibility to rent a bike, so we did it! From our school, which is at Solec 48 street, to subway station Politechnika. I have to admit we had one short break, just to drink some water, but after 25 minutes we got to our destination. It was a great opportunity to do some activity. I really enjoy spontaneous ideas and trips :)

New students...

Wow! it was a busy weekend. On Saturday I had opportunity to talk to future students of IB in our school, but first they need to write some exams to check their abilities. I remember when I had to write exams to get into the middle school, well it wasn’t as difficult as these nowadays, but when I think about it I can feel the stress that was with me during these toughed few hours. Hope everyone will get into our school :)

Decorating for prom...

It’s been a while since I wrote a post, but it doesn’t mean the last whole month was not effective! I did some sports, as usual, but as well I finally did something to help the others. With my friend, Zosia Piontek, we decorated the gym for this year’s prom. The prom took place on the 26th of January, but we had to prepare everything on the 24th. I think we did a great job and looking at my friends’ faces, when they saw the decorated gym, was breath taking. I will definitely look for something else to help the others :)

Kick boxing...

As I mentioned earlier I really enjoy physical activities, but surfing needs waves and in Warsaw, there aren’t any and I have to go to a specific place, in which waves are good... But I found something I tried at the beginning of this school year, Kick boxing! Wow, this sport is really exhausting (as you can see on the photo) but gives pretty good effects. I have my personal trainings every Wednesdays and Fridays and now, after 3 moths of trainings I can say I’m pretty good :) The skills I want to achieve are basics in kick boxing, or maybe something more... who knows! ;)

Surfing...

Despite of physical activities I do during school year, I try to keep my condition in a good shape. This year, during summer holidays I had a chance to do new sport, which is surfing. I went to Peniche, Portugal for ten days and I have to admit that this is the hardest physical activity I have ever done in my entire life! But, I loved it! I’ve caught my first waves there, but my real dream is to catch a real wave, the one without a foam, just like pro surfers catch... I feel this sport is just for me! I will definitely go somewhere (hope very soon...) to keep practicing my skills :)
