As an introduction to my blog, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself and provide readers with some basic background information on who I am.
My name is Chris Sudol and I am originally from Brooklyn, New York. I was born shortly after my parents emigrated from Poland to come to the United States. I spent a significant portion of my childhood living in Greenpoint; a neighborhood comprised of a large Polish American population located in the northern Brooklyn. My parents rarely, if ever, spoke English at home, as a result my first language was Polish and not English; I began learning English when I entered elementary school. As a result of my upbringing, I am now bilingual and am able to speak and write in Polish in addition to English.
When I was older, my parents moved up to Ontario, Canada; this is where I attended high school. It was a bit of a transition but as time progressed I became more accustomed to the change of scenery. Though, at the time, high school seemed like an eternity, looking back I can recall a wealth of pleasant memories. The acquisition of a high school diploma was not the end of my formal education.
I knew I wanted to attend college following high school but was not sure which school I wanted to go to. I decided to enroll at Western Michigan due to a close family friend who is currently employed as a professor at the University. I am currently a second semester freshman at Western and can honestly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my college experience thus far and am very excited to see what the future will bring.
