Hey guys!

My name is Sabrina Kostusiak and I was born in Danbury, Connecticut. Shortly after I was born, my parents moved to Buffalo and I have lived there my whole life until now. I came to New York City for college this year, leaving all my family and friends behind. It was scary at first to start completely anew, but it’s comforting to know that so many people have come to the city just as I have, including my ancestors. Most of my family arrived in the mid 1800’s from Poland and Ireland. My ancestry, however, is more complicated, since I am a mix of many different European nationalities, including Polish, Irish, Russian, and French. I’m very excited for this class since I get to learn more about my classmates and more about my city!
