CAS PORTFOLIO

While I were on my school trip in Gdańsk, I visited many interesting museums that broadened my art and history knowledge: National Museum, II World War Museum and European "Solidarność" Centre. A visit to these museums deepened my knowledge. I changed the perception of Polish history. Personally, I do not like visiting museums related to the Second World War, because I take it too emotionally. However, the form of presenting these stories, surprised me very much and I appreciate it very much. However, the greatest experience was a visit to the Solidarity Museum. This is a period that interests me very much. Many effects are still visible today because these events took place relatively recently. That is why I am very happy that I could get to know them even better, from various sources gathered together.

Taking advantage of the September weather I went to the park and Litewski Square. It had beneficial influence on my health as I could breath some fresh air and clear the mind. It let me admire the beauty of autumn colors, which strongly influenced my reception of the world. Such impressions are also very important in artistic terms because they are a source of inspiration.

During my stay in Warsaw, it was an utmost pleasure to visit Museum of Modern Art.   Whenever I am in Warsaw, I try to visit this museum. Every season is another surprising exhibition. It  is not large, but the experience associated with the reception of works by various artists allows one to understand the psyche of others in a certain way. Every artist devotes his time to a certain issue. They have given to it themselves entirety. They effort, character and views are visible at work. This adds a brick to the overall reception of society. I hope that it is not my last visit there and when I will move to Warsaw I will have even more time to appreciate art.  Here is a model of the housing estate project in Lublin.

Since some time now, I am trying to have a healthier lifestyle.  I began eating breakfasts quite regularly and limited fat intake. To be honest I don't really like it. The food is good, but I do not feel full after eating it. I rather like a good pizza or burger, but I hope that it will have beneficial influence on my well-being.  

In the first semester of the school year 2017/18, I have participated in PE very eagerly. Everyweek break for 2 hours of exercises during full schedule of classes is very refreshing for my body and mind. My involvement in classes was rewarded grade 5 for the semester. My favorite part of physical education is basketball and fitness. In basketball I can really let myself go, while fitness activities allow me to stretch my body. This is very beneficial for me as it makes my body fit, but also allow me to be more efficient as a learner.

During my stay in Vilnius for EYP, I managed some time to visit the local museums - art and democracy ones. I could appreciate local artist and get to know the history of Lithuania and how it became the democratic country. To be honest, the interactive museum was better then the art one, although there was a painting of Mickiewicz that is found in every single Polish textbook. The history of Lithuanian democracy is not long. But presentation of it was great. Everyone visiting Vilnius should come and experience it themselves. It was actually very beneficial also for my exams as I gathered more information about influence of EU on Lithuanian citizens that covers some HL topics ;) And a graffiti of Putin and Trump...

In cooperation with medical students organization IMFSA Poland I had an opportunity to carry out charity action "Miś pod szpitalną choinkę". I was responsible to conduct it in my school. We gathered the whole box of teddy bers (only in Staszic) that were later given to kids that were in University Children Hospital. Their happiness and laughter when they were receiving toys made me conceive how important it is to share with and help others.
