Agnieszka Anna Ziembinska
POLAND

Hello everybody.

My name is Agnieszka Anna Ziembinska, I live in Poland in a very big city. I am the only child and that means that I do not have siblings but my family in spite of that is big. I have a dog which my mother calls "son", and that would mean that my dog "Jerry" is my younger brother. I am the only person in my family who is deaf but I can communicate in spoken language at school. I finished elementary school and trade school with normal kids. I do not have any problems communicating by spoken language. My trade school was a culinary school with specialization in pastry and I graduated in 2001. So I am counting on finding a job abroad, maybe in Germany. Presently I am attending evening high school, starting September I'll be in grade 11. I am 21 years old, I was born 25 of July 1983.

My interests are: chess, sport like volleyball and basketball. I am interested in religion, psychology, I love to read books, I like to travel but unfortunately it is too expensive. I work in pastry shop. I am interested in learning foreign languages but to do that I would like to spent more time abroad.

My achievements: I placed second in Open Chess Championship of Poland in Rybnik. I hope to win more competitions like that. 
Interests: I like to meet people, deaf or not. I might have problem communicating in foreign language but I can learn.
