Hi. My name is Paulina Rozmiarek. I was born in Poland, and moved to Canada when I was 5 months old. All my family lived back in Poland and I try and go back as often as I can to visit all of them. It’s hard not seeing them as much as I’d like to, but when I do go to Poland, I got for the entire summer so I can spend as much time with them as I can. Here in Canada I live with my mom and my cat Casper. I am currently unemployed because I want to focus all my time on school. Once I know I can handle my school work load I’ll start looking for a new job.
I just graduated from Fleetwood Park Secondary School in June. This is my first year at Kwantlen and I’m taking general studies. I’m not too sure what I want to do with my life, but I knew I wanted to go to school right when I finished high school. Kwantlen was the best choice for me because of the small classroom sizes and the small campus. I was far too afraid to go from a high school where I knew almost everyone, into a huge school where I knew absolutely no one. So far, Kwantlen has been working out very well for me and I’m very pleased with the choice I made to come here.
I took sociology because I wanted to learn more about society and how it works. I’m very interested in human behavior and how people react in certain situations. I’d like to learn more about what different countries and religions find acceptable and normal in their societies.
My understanding of social justice is that everyone should be treated equally. Not based on age, gender, sexual preference, skin color and religion. All people should have the same rights and opportunities and should not be discriminated against
