A little about Marta

MARTA on Sep 25th 2013

Hello there, my name is Marta & I am a seventeen year old freshman at Baruch (as you guys know already). I graduated from Murry Bergtraum High School, & while in High School i tried to take advantage of all of the programs I could. I liked to get involved, so I was elected as the President of my schools student government, i participated in the National Honor Society, and I spent alot of my time playing sports. I was the Varsity Volleyball co-captain, and this was probably my favorite part of high school because volleyball was and is still my passion. When i need a break from school and everything else, me and my bestfriends go out and play volleyball.

Volleyball Practice

My best friends mean the world to me. My best-est friend is Sophie, we met in Volleyball Practice the first week of freshman year in High School, and we have been inseperable since. She is like a sister, and when people see us one without the other they usually think something is wrong, that’s how close we are. She is my other half, my friend for life and though we fight like no tomorrow, I can’t imagine myself without her.

Aside from sports, I spend a lot of time drawing and painting. It is something that i find to be enjoyable and something I have always been good at. When I was younger I actually wanted to study fashion design, but somehow I ended up deciding to study business. Although I may not be designing clothes or making them, i do love fashion. I think that fashion is just a piece of history that repeats itself because most of the time what is in “style” was in style at one point in time prior to now. And I also help out my friends, who study photography, by being their model for many of their photoshoots.

Modeling

My internship at a Fashion House   I intern at a fashion house, and i love it! It is like a dream job of mine, and to be able to experience that now is amazing!

 

I am a big family person, and i accredit this to the fact that i have 5 siblings. I have an older brother (age 29), a younger sister (age 12) and three younger brothers ( twins age 9, and the youngest is age 6). None of my siblings live with me, the eldest lives on his own and my younger siblings live in Poland with my dad. The good thing about that is that i have an excuse to go hoe, to Poland, as often as I can. I love spending my time there, I was born there and it feels like home. I remember being little and always being in my yard with my grandparents, talking and listening to their childhood stories, its memories like that that i cherish the most.

Being that I am from Poland, i spend alot of time there, and most of that time isn’t spent in the city. Although I am from Warsaw (the countries capitol city, and largest city), I spend alot of time at my dad’s country home which is located far from the urban setting. Because of this I learned to absolutely LOVE nature. Don’t get me wrong, I love New York and the city life, but I much rather be in the country, somewhere in the woods, or even on a far (LOL). And if you ever catch me on the farm, you can probably find me with my horse (I love horses!!!!!), his name is Rocco.

Say hi to Rocoo
