Fogadjátok szeretettel, Agnieszka bemutatkozását, Lengyelországból.
Hello everyone!
My name is Agnieszka Szewczyk and I come from Poland. I study Management and Marketing at the Wrocław University of Economics. Now I’m on my 5th year of studies and writing a masters’ thesis is ahead of me. For me going abroad for Erasmus program was just a good decision to make. It’s a great experience with amazing people :-).
Apart from studying I’m involved in students’ organizations – BIT The Travellers Club (“BIT” stands for “Because I Travel” and gathers people hooked on travelling to organize projects aimed at university students) and Summer School Poland (two weeks in summer combining studies&fun at my university for students from all over the world).
Whenever I have some free time I love to travel, discover new places and trying new things. For me, spending a semester here in Hungary lives up to these expectations 🙂
Pozdrawiam,
Agnieszka
Miután megkaptuk a felszerelést a paintballozáshoz két csapatot alkottunk: A narancssárga csapat: Jirka, Marion, Jonas, Marta and Anett; a fehér csapat Dodo, Mirenia, Jan, Marika and Edyta.
‘Somewhat over 90 degrees (Farenheit, of course), John Parkerson, the Honorary Consul of Hungary and a Georgian girl, Mariami Chubinidze welcomed me on August 10th, 2010, the date I arrived to the “Capital of the South”, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. It has been two months, since I got here and these two months have been the best of my life. Different culture, different environment, different people, different campus. Endless opportunities to learn.
Located in Morrow, 30 minutes away from the downtown of Atlanta, the campus looks like it was built in the middle of the woods. Among the large trees, there are several ponds giving home to ducks, turtles and the prides of the school, swans. I stay in the dorms, where I have my own room and share bathroom only with my Georgian friend. The use of the gym is free for students, which come handy, after having “American dinner”.
An open mind, tolerance, empathy and kindness. These qualities are vital to be able to enjoy your time spent here. To get involved in life, you need to be able to accept differences that might not be normal or obvious for us in Hungary. Approximately 80% of the students are African-Americans and Atlanta registers the world second largest gay population in the USA, after San Francisco. This national and also international mixture gives the city a great atmosphere of diversity. If you like meeting new ideas, new ways of thinking, if you are not afraid of challenging yourself alone in a different culture, then I would strongly recommend applying for this scholarship. Putting this “journey” on your resume, or learning English from first-hand, are just some that you can gain from this opportunity. This is an experience that can never be taken from you!’
