Something that I think is going well for me this year so far is that I get all of my work done on time or even days before it is due. Most of the assignments I am able to complete quickly because of how much time is offered in class. I think one of the things I am struggling with sometimes is staying focused because there are so many distractions in my house. My two siblings have zoom classes at the same time that I do which messes with the internet and means there is never a quiet space in the house. I also feel that I worked better when I was in a physical classroom because everyone was working which encouraged me to get my work done faster.

We do not do anything very big for any holidays but for birthday's we usually go to movie theaters. People usually gift my family movie theater gift cards and it got to the point where we had stacks of them. I am always the one in the family that is excited to go see new movies at any point in time. Last time we went to a movie theater (before coronavirus) we saw two really amazing movies called "Midway" and "Ford vs. Ferrari." They are both based on true stories and they are now one of my favorite movies. I remember seeing the movie "Zootopia" when it first came out and I think that after that it just became a thing my family does.

I enjoy books and movies because there is so much information that you are able to learn from both. I personally enjoy reading and watching things that are based on true stories or are about something that is happening in the world today. Although, there are so many books and movies that I have enjoyed I think that the movie that has influenced me is, "Hidden Figures." This movie is about three African-American women who are hired as the brains of NASA in order to win the space race. This takes place in a time where segregation still ruled people's everyday lives. These three women not only had setbacks because of their skin color but also because of their gender. This movie has made me push myself to take classes that will challenge me even if others think I will not succeed in them.

One of the strengths I have is performing in sports. I am able to quickly pick up the rules or the movements of the sport and excel in it. Even if some sports are not my favorite, such as football or basketball I am still able to play them very well. From a young age I have also always been a fast swimmer and runner. Another thing I am good at is fixing technology issues. If any of my family members have a technological issue the first person they come to is me. I am also the person that sets up the WiFi and all of the new electronics in the house.

Snowboarding is a sport that I have been doing since I was around 9 years old. As soon as I began to perform this sport for fun I knew that this was something I would stay with for a while. It has always given me a thrill of trying out new things even after I fail over and over. This passion for this sport has stuck with me into my teenage years and now I go to different snowboarding slopes every year with my family. After a long day of snowboarding ee then stay in a cabin or hotel and watch the show "Shark Tank." This is the one family trip that I look forward to all year and hopefully, I am able to go on it this year even though there is a worldwide pandemic.

In the past couple of months, I have been learning Italian through the app Duolingo. It was relatively easy when I started to learn the basics because some of the vocab was similar to what I am learning in Spanish. The one downside of this is that I keep mixing up both Italian and Spanish when I am doing my homework. Although, I think it will get easier as time moves on and as I get to learn more of both the languages. The reason I want to learn Italian is so I am able to speak it when I go on my dream vacation to Italy.

Hi Natalia,
Thanks for sharing your interests about ancient civilizations! Very cool... what got you interested in that?
Also, that is a great goal to want to go into medicine. What fields of medicine are you interested in? My husband is in medical school right now, so I have a little bit of insight into the time, effort, and commitments you have to make to get there!

Hello! My name is Natalia Pocica and I am a sophomore. I enjoy snowboarding, track and field, traveling, and basically anything outside. Some of my interests include learning about lost civilizations, World War II, ancient life in Egypt and the rise of Rome. This summer I went camping with my family at Washington Island. One of my biggest goals in life is to get into medical school. Classes that I have enjoyed in the past are my science classes and world studies. Since my family is Polish I am able to speak it fluently along with English. I have also been studying Spanish for the past five years and will continue to do so throughout high school. In my own free time I have also begun to learn Italian through the app “Duolingo."
