My great grandmother
and great grandfather moved from Poland to the United States in the early
1900s. They met in the United States and married. Magdelena Maciejewska
was the daughter of Ignacy and Emilia of Kazimierz Biskupi. My grandmother
Irene was the daughter of Magdelena. My grandmother was born in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin; she learned Polish from her mother.
As a child I always thought
about travelling to Poland. When I discovered the opportunity on the internet
to teach English, I knew I had to go. So here I am.
