Here we are - The Union of Lublin 3rd Comprehensive School

Lublin
We live in Lublin, an old Polish town which history has reached the 13th Century. This is the largest city on the eastern side of the Vistula River - the longest river in Poland, and the capital of Lublin Voivodeship with a population of 355,954 people. It is Poland's ninth largest city.
We've got a beautiful castle, a huge cathedral and a 'Trynitarska' Tower where we can see a breathtaking view of Lublin.
Lublin is a great city, really open for young people. There is 5 universities with over 85,000 of students, which placed Lublin as the most students' city in Poland. We've got lots to do here, fantastic clubs and lots of places where we can meet with our friends. As well as night-life there are lots of places where we can improve our talents and make our horizonts wider, as the example - a centre of culture, schools of dance, languages schools great theatres and cinemas.


Our school
A school is a place where we spend most of our time, but our school is a nice place to spend time, even if sometimes life gets really tough there. Techers are nice as well as students themselves.
The school was established on 7th October 1921, which places it among the oldest institutions of the sort in the district's capital. Our school has about 700 pupils, there are lots of profiles - economic, humanistic, jurnalist, dramatic or scientific. Not only the results of education make its position strong, but also a variety of extracurricular activities offered, e.g. drama, film and newspaper workshops, mathematics club and various sports classes. There are approx. 30 different such classes on offer.
The school community members also pride themselves on their choir, ‘Kantylena’, which has been awarded many times in all-Poland reviews. Our school cooperates with many universities and cultural institutions, which makes gaining education there even more attractive. This enables students to implement projects which go beyond the constraints of traditional education. Among the graduates, (more than 9,000 already), there are people holding eminent positions, such as: writers, politicians and artists.
We're all from science profiled class, we're mostly intrested in biology and chemistry and we want to be a doctor or a scientist.

Our class

Patrycja
My name is Patrycja and I’m sixteen years old. I was born on the 23rd of May 1992. I live in small town in Lubelskie province, which name is Milejów. We have got one HS in my place, but I’ve chosen III LO in Lublin, because it is one of the best Polish schools. I’m brown hair girl with grey eyes. I’m not very tall, but I like my size.
I have a brother, whose name is Maciej. He is 21 and he loves playing computer games and making websites. In my opinion he is really good person, who helps everyone who needs it. My mother’s name is Beata. She is a teacher and I think she loves her job. My father’s name is Grzegorz. He is a policeman, so he has dangerous work. We live in semi-detached house and our neighbors are very nice and helpful guys. Our garden is rather big. I like sitting there in the summer. I love one big tree, which is the oldest one, but I love my small tree, too. My grandfather planted my tree on the day of my birth and it grows with me.
I go to school from Monday to Friday. School day starts sometimes at 7:30 am, sometimes at 12:15 pm. It’s hard to wake up early, but everything has got pros and cons. When you go to school at 12, you’ll finish your lessons very late, for example at 18:05 pm.
In my free time I play saxophone, read interesting books or meet with my friends. I think I’m person full of optimism, who looks at the world through pink-colored glasses. I am childish and creative and I still believe in words: “everything is poetry”. My motto is: “when something isn't hard to get - it isn't worth any attention."

Monika
My name is Monika, I’m almost 17 years old and I go to the third secondary school of the name of the Unia Lubelska in Lublin. I’m a first class student, biological-chemical profile. I think this official information will be enough. My schoolmates call me Żmijka, which means in English a viper and others call me Jabba-I think I don’t have to translate this or of course my real name. I have a lot of interests. The first-swimming. It is my favourite sport, I've swum twice a weak since I was 9. Other way for spending my time is music-I like listening to music and play the piano. I’m not a virtuoso performer, I’m rather crummy, but I don’t care Apart from that I really like watching the films, singing and dancing, but only on parties. I’m outgoing, rather reasonable, lively, helpful, sometimes bad-tempered, but sometimes calm and quiet. One of my defects is that I’m from time to time stubborn, cheeky and too talkative. It’s enough, I think.

Agnieszka
I'm Agnieszka. I’m sixteen years old, I was born on the 7th of September 1992. I live in Lublin, it’s a city in the eastern Poland. Despite my name is Agnieszka, everybody calls me Stasio, so you can use this name, when you want to call me ;) I’m a student I go to the high school in Lublin. I go to a science profiled class, so I learn biology and chemistry for the most of my time. I want to be a doctor in the future, because I like helping other people. I was a volunteer at home for orphaned children for three years and it was a great experience. I’m rather thin and very tall (180 cm.), I’ve got blue eyes and brown straight hair.
I have many interests, but I have three things I love doing. First of them is dance, actually country dancing. It has been my passion for eight years. I learn how to dance different dances, I think I can dance polish national dances very well, but I also learn how to dance dances from other countries – like Tarantella, an Italian dance, this dance was really great!
The second thing is music – I really enjoy listening to the music as well as playing a bass guitar. I have played for three years and I love it! I like rock music – U2, The Police or Red Hot Chili Peppers.
And the last thing is eating and sleeping – I’m not a lazy person, I’m just slow, when I don’t have to be in hurry I’m not in hurry, I always have time to take a nap or cook something, I love cooking, and eating what I have cooked, of course. I’m a sleepyhead and I’m not shy about it ;)
I have one sister – her name is Monika, she’s 24 years old, she studies medicine. My parents are both doctors.
I’m really sociable, I like to meet new people, so I think our cooperation will be really great!
