My name is Patrick Jedrysek and I have a Polish heritage. Both of my parents came from Poland in the 90’s and made sure that me and my siblings are aware of our backgrounds. We all attended Polish supplementary school were we learned about Polish history, geography, and the language.

I was born in Brooklyn, however I spent ages one thru four in Poland. I even attend one year of pre-K there.  So even though I am actually a second-generation immigrant, I sometimes feel like a first. I like to visit Poland whenever I can to brush up on my Polish and visit family.
