Welcome to Weronika's website. You will see my thoughts/essays and/or things I am about to do next. Have fun :)

I am a pro tennis player who has suffered from depression/anorexia for the past six years (from 2016) (I am writing this in 2022). Official info about my next tournaments can be found at International Tennis Federation (ITF) Profile. A little about my tennis: I was classified the highest at the 944 WTA singles, 706 WTA doubles and 152 ITF Juniors. Along the way I was part of the Polish National Team, 2nd best Polish Junior in the world classification and have won medals at Polish Championships. Besides this, in the pro ciruit I won $10,000 in doubles and reached a final of $25,000 in doubles.

I am also an undergraduate student at Harvard majoring in psychology and pursuing premed (2023), where I found research and writing to be simultaneously joyful and hard. More on my current science projects can be found here at Research Gate or ORCID profile

As I mentioned, I want to get into a med school that combines my love for healing and researching. Hence the idea of MD-PhD was born in my mind. Hopefully, one day I could look back at this journal and say that the journey to get where I would have been by that time was exciting.

This webpage will serve as a form of semi-private medium to share my inner thoughts, goals and queries. Besides this I am an avid reader.

You will witness my journey to self-discovery through projects and I will keep this website as a form of journal that I could hopefully one day look upon. As one of my favorite writers - Atul Gawande said in his book "Better: A surgeon's notes on performance," "My fourth suggestion was: Write something. I do not mean this to be an intimidating suggestion. It makes no difference whether you write five paragraphs for a blog, a paper for a professional journal, or a poem for a reading group. Just write. What you write need not achieve perfection. It need only add some small observation about your world" (p.255, Gawande)

I will strive here to do just that. Add a small piece of observation to my world in hopes of making this world a slightly better place. But don't we all?
