I am a teacher studying to obtain my educational doctorate. Currently, I teach 3rd. grade (8-9 yr. old children.) My grandparents immigrated to the United States from Poland. My family is very proud of their heritage but we do not know the language. I am dating a Polish, Catholic man and want to pass the traditions on to both my children and his children. Although I live in the United States our heritage is a very big part of who we are.
