• While in the US, I completed over 30 hours of volunteering ranging from helping the elderly to operating a camera during a music festival. In Poland, however, I participated in the "Dzień Papieski" volunteering, during which people collect money for scholarships for underprivileged brilliant young minds.

• Tennis - I have been playing tennis since 2010 and won a lot of tournaments, both in singles and doubles. During my year in the US as an exchange student, I was the only one in my school to qualify for the Kansas State high school tennis championship.
• Finance - I've been investing in various blue-chip companies by buying their shares on the stock market since I turned 18, and before that I was advising my parents on their own investment decisions on the stock market. I've been trying to keep up with all the news surrounding the companies I invested in.
• American Football - It was when I first watched a football match between my school and another school I fell in love with the sport, well, at least in watching it and feeling all the emotions and cheering the team.
