Who am I?

Hi, my name is Gabriela. 17 years ago I was born in Poland, a country whose language is so complicated, I feel like I still don't even know it till this day. After turning one, my family and I moved to New Zealand. Even though, the plan at first was to live there for two years, we stayed on the "Kiwi" land for over six years.

We fell in love with the country where "Hobbit" - the famous movie was filmed and produced. By saying this, I sense that you understand why we so much enjoyed living there. The country is one of the most beautiful places on Earth and is populated by only 8 million people who are so kind and warm-hearted that you never want to leave the place. Unfortunately, New Zealand was so far from our home, my family decided to move back to Poland. Fast-forward to today, I am currently a high school student, who was awarded a scholarship in the United States. Who am I? For me, that is still an unanswerable question. I hope one day though I will find an answer to this intricate inquiry. If I had to describe myself in 3 words, I would say that I am an optimistic, easy-going, adventurous person, who pays too much attention to detail and deeply cares about others' opinions. For now, this is my description. In five years, I will probably laugh at this blog and think, what was I doing? But you know what, 6 years ago I was a little girl who started writing blogs about love stories, with characters from my favorite show at the time - "Violetta". How could I write about true love when I hadn't experienced it. Now I could make fun of myself, but at the same time, I am proud of who I used to be. I was so passionate about creating those blogs; had readers, who admired my work and believed in me. Every single part of my life was and is meaningful to me. Without living in New Zealand, changing schools so many times, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I know this may sound cheesy and corny to you, but I believe remembering about your past self is very important for your future self. Don't get me wrong, in 60 or even 70 years I still will have flaws and will not be perfect. Nevertheless, if I admire who I used to be and am today, I can actually move on with my life, which is so short and passes too fast. You may not have the time to after all love yourself. If you understand your importance in this society, your impact on your friends and family, you will feel so fulfilled. This is something I still HAVE NOT ACHIEVED, but it is MY AIM.
