Me and my family

My name is Karolina Kus.

I come from Poland and

I am 22 years old.

Why I chose Constructing Architecture?

Since, I end my secondary school, I have always been interested In mathematics, but also In drawing and other types of design. I made my own jewelry and attended in many drawing lessons.

During my education in high school I found some information about two faculties combined (engineering and architecture). I was very excited because of it because it was the best combination for me. I decided to study at Silesian University of Technology. I ended 6 semesters there, and then I got a possibility of taking part in exchange – Erasmus Program because of my good notes. Normally at 7th semester each student should have the practice in the building company so I took part in volunteering and went for a week to Auschwitz, where I was preparing documentation and making measurement of the buildings which are in this concentration camp. After that I decided to study in Denmark due to better perspective for the future, improve my language skills and learn something about prefabricated elements because it isn’t very popular in my country yet. Now I know that the Constructing Architect program was really good choice because I met all my expectations and also learned a lot of useful information in the field of management.

Summary of Qualifications

Polish: Very good in reading, speaking and writing;

English: Very good in writing and reading, good in speaking;

Computer skills: I have been working in various kind of programs

and I am good in Microsoft Office Word 2007, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. Moreover, I can

work with Auto CAD, Revit and Google Sketch Up 6 and a lot of

different constructing, installation and economy programs.

Personal Interest

I have always loved to travel. Since I was a little kid my parents

take me to different trips. I live at south Poland where I have

excellent access to the mountains so almost each weekend I

traveled with my parents and sister to the nearest tops and

forests. This trips made a lot of opportunities to taking pictures.

My father always learn me how to make good pictures and that is

the reason why photography is also my small “interest”.

Another thing that takes a lot of my time is making jeweler. I

order large quantities of beads and then I am spending long hours

on making new patterns of earrings, bracelets and necklaces.

I also really like drawing so I took part in some courses when I

was in high school. Likewise I am interested in horse riding. My

aunt has got horse stud, so I spent a lot of time there when I was

a child.

Strong and not strong points

I am really ambitious person. I am not sure if it is always strong

point because sometimes it really complicate a lot of things. I set

myself high goals and I always try to pursue them. I can spend

long hours to solve the problem. I can work well under pressure,

work effectively independently and equally as a part of a team and

I also have an eye for details, ensuring quality and accuracy.

In other hand I don’t like to ask people about advices. I prefer to

solve problems in my own. It isn’t good because sometimes I need

much more time to do something, but I still think that when I do

something in my own I will learn more.

Learning aims

My main aim is to improve my English and learn how to work with

people from different countries who have different point of view,

different ways to solve the problems etc. I also want to learn new

programs and get information about prefabricated elements

which aren’t so popular in my country nowadays.

Ambitions

My goal is to take a engineer degree and then master degree in

Physics of Building and different thermal calculations. In the

future I would like to open my own company dealing with building

passive houses.
