Poverty and prosperity affect my life in many different ways. The ability of me being able to go to such a good school is very important to me. Hinsdale South opens up opportunity's that would not be possible in other schools. My family immigrated from Poland and they had a very rough start. They lived in poverty for a really long time. From the ground up my parents built a business that is thriving today. They gave me and my brother the ability to succeed.

How can you acquire power so that you can change the world around you?

# data[].attributes.body
Acquiring power can be very difficult especially at such a young age. I don't have a source of income or completed proper education. Although, when I am able to acquire power the best ways of getting it would be through education, money, and status. Getting a degree will help me get a job and overall boost my status. Once I get power I can help the world in many ways. For example, I can donate to charities/non profits to support what I believe in. Age also impacts the amount of power I have. Once I turn 18 I will be able to vote and advocate for leaders I think would be a good fit.

Various aspects have helped me find my beliefs and values. I am an atheist. Although I was raised in a Catholic family and religion was pushed onto by everyone I knew, I still chose not to follow it. Being in a region feels very suffocating. I do not believe in an after live. I prefer it this was so I don't submerge myself in a false reality. My values are shaped by experiences, friends and family. Throughout my life my family has taught me very important things that I come to value today.

Technology greatly impacts my day to day life. Whether it is through communicating with friends, school, or social media the internet is something I use daily.

How do various elements of culture shape your life?

# data[].attributes.body
Art and culture have impacted my life in many ways. Where I live, nationality, language and fashion have all impacted my life. I grew up in a very "polish" household. We would mainly eat polish dishes and my family ,especially my grandparents, were very religious. Although, through the years my family has shifted from being strictly polish to trying new things. For example instead of only eating polish dishes we now often eat dishes from around that world ranging from Mexican, Italian, Japanese foods etc. This change has exposed me to various cultures and customs.

Being Polish has impacted my relationships. I am able to be closer with people who speak my language.

My clothes or what I am wearing day to day is largely dictated by my mood.
