Dear Student Exchange Officer, My name is Katarzyna Jawna and Im student of 5th year Faculty of Pharmacy at Silesian Piasts

University of

Medicine in Wrocaw.
I am a professional dreamer since the time I was in petticoats. As a small girl I travelled with the heroes of books, movies and photographs. I had been dreaming that I would see with my own eyes everything I had experienced in my imagination. Now I am sure that I'm going to be adventurer, discoverer and traveler in a future. My biggest dream is to travel around the world for my life and the Student Exchange Programme could make my dreams come true and help me with my aspirations. I prefer to go on my monthly practice on July. The best place for my practice will be an university, where I could delve into some researches. I am really interested in pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, food science, dietetics and nutrition. Actually Im writing my masters thesis in Chair and Departament of Food Science and Dietetics. The theme of my thesis sounds Interactions between food supplements and drugs. If it isnt possible, then I could do my practice in industry, hospital pharmacy or community pharmacy too, but I think that I have got a bent for science and I want to carry on researches in a future. Countries of south-east Asia are really fascinating, beautiful and a little exotic for me. I know that, because I have got many travel books about this region. I am curious of another culture and I hope that I meet there fantastic, warm people. Additionally on August, there is a World Congress of International Pharmacy Student Federation in Thailand and I really want to take part in this event. If I will be in near, then I can allow myself to participate of Congress (then costs of flight are much lower for me). I am independent, responsible, hard-working and well-organized person. I like meeting new people and spending nice time with them. My friends say that I am tolerant, curious and spontaneous girl. For couple of years I have participated in works of many student associations and I really like doing something for another people! I really love almost every kind of sport, but especially horse riding, roller skating, hiking, cycling and climbing. I admire animals and I have got my own pets white cat called Filemon and a little dog Jack Russel Terrier called Niko (it is the same breed like Mailo from the movie The Mask). I wrote at the beginning about travelling - my biggest passion. In this year, on my holiday I was in Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania. It was the most exciting journey in my life and I hope that when I will go to Asia I will change my mind about it! It is very important to me to gain practical experience and valuable knowledge useful in my future job. I believe that this Exchange Programme gives me the chance to obtain educational and cultural experience and also to broaden my mind and understanding of pharmaceutical and social condition in other countries. I trust that we meet in Asia on July and I cant await of the scent of Asian air. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Katarzyna Jawna Young Pharmacy Poland
