Division I basketball was my dream in Poland. Not too many people get the chance to come to a school like UT and graduate and play for a legendary coach. I have great thanks for being given this opportunity.

I have a big decision to make, since my visa to stay here expires in 2008. Do I stay in the U.S. and get a graduate degree in kinesiology, or go back home and play for the Polish National Team? It's a real-life decision I have to make soon.

I have listened to the advice from people who are better than me while I've been here, people like Heather Schreiber. She was my mentor, and pushed me and pressed me with advice and through example.
