My name is Maksymilian Pawlak. I'm 21.
I was born in Gdynia.
I've been living in Kamionka district for 12 years. Now I live in Sopot.
I live with my mom.
I was working but...
they've cheated me on money and somehow...
I'd like to become a game tester in the future.
I could also become an IT specialist in the future.
I would need an IT course maybe.
My name is Grzegorz. I'm 21.
I live in Sopot now.
I've been living with my parents and grandmother
for 20 years.
I've no kids, no wife.
I train bodybuilding
at Sopot Association of Bodybuilding and Recreation.
I like this sport
and I'll continue to train it.
I'd like to become a personal trainer or a dietitian.
A personal trainer because
I'd like to teach people.
The 9th School in Brodwino district.
then the junior high school...
the 1st Junior High School in Sopot.
Then I went to a technical school, specialization: lineman, in Gdynia.
I haven't graduated from this school.
There...
I had quarrels with other students.
And I just stopped going there.
When I quit school
I visited my friends
to play computer games and spend time together.
If I had studying friends I would study as well.
My mom was not happy that I quit school.
She told me to go there and graduate, to have it done.
I said no...
Then I went to Gdańsk...
to learn at a ship, specialization: ship welder or something like that.
And...
then I had a two years gap.
I've been working only casual jobs since I quit school.
In September I'm going back to school.
After primary school
I went to a junior high school in Sopot.
In the junior high school I had problems.
I was a weak student.
Somehow I managed to graduate.
Then I went to a vocational school.
In the vocational school I was a better student, I had good marks.
A friend from the vocational school,
from the second class
was preparing to graduate and she suggested me
to go to an extramural secondary school
in Gdańsk.
I liked this school.
The teachers were very important to me.
I had classes every second weekend.
I was at school from 8 am till 7 pm
on Saturday and Sunday.
I'm satisfied with this school
because I've learned a lot
and now I know
how to deal with many things.
Now I'm going to a post-secondary school.
When I'll finish the post-secondary school
I want to go to the University of Physical Education.
I'll learn to make my dream come true.
My decision to quit school was wrong.
It was a waist of time. I could have been a trained worker by now.
I could go further now but I made a mistake.
I can't turn it back.
I made a decision together with my mom
to go to school.
I was about to go to school a year ago
but I decided to have one more year free.
But now I'm coming back for sure.
Thanks to the project of Caritas organization
I'll attend school,
an extramural school
and I hope that I'll graduate and it will be OK.
It's better to graduate from school
and have it done
and find a better job.
It's worth to continue education.
