Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division. Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. “There’s no collegiate sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic study there. ” Siwosz said.
Her desire to have a quality education led her to America. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply for four-year schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.
When she had earned all her credits, Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn’t what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”
After one year at Baylor, Siwosz made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to her friend Lee, a former Berkeley student and keen tennis player. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”

How to help yourself relax before bed
Having trouble sleeping lately There are a great number of things that can keep a person up at night. Some causes of sleeplessness are beyond our control. 36 .
Mindful meditation(冥想)
You may not be able to force your mind to quiet down, but a moment of mental silence just might sneak(潜入)up on you. 37 . Then it is much easier to pursue that feeling and cause it to take place.
38
It's silly to expect your mind to stop worrying. You can write about all the things that are worrying you and how you will deal with them. By putting those solutions on paper, and trying to carry out them, you can reduce the number of troublesome things in your mind.
Create a pre-sleep routine
It's hard to change from worrying to relaxing if you jump into bed as soon as you finish answering work emails. 39 . For example, you can have a warm shower, followed by going to bed with a glass of warm milk while listening to some soft music. The best part of this is that such things tend to become more powerful over time.
Stay healthy
There are some vitamin(维生素) and hormone imbalances that can mess up your energy levels. 40 . Such imbalances can be eased by the use of moderate vitamin supplements and keeping fit through taking natural remedies, such as exercise, healthy diet, good relationships, and so on.
A. Put down your worries
B. Go to bed as early as you can
C. This disorder makes it harder for you to go to sleep

My Hobby
Hobbies play an important role in our daily lives. Different people have different hobbies. Reading is my hobby.
I like reading for three reasons. First of all, books introduce me to a new world, which is colorful and without time and space limit. Through reading, I can trace back to ancient Egypt, the cradle of human civilization. It can bring me to the United States, a glamorous land I have been longing to visit. Secondly, reading can broaden my horizons. In the past years, most of my knowledge has been obtained from books. I have learned from many people by reading about their ideas on science, politics and society. Thirdly, reading bridges the gap between my dream and my goal. In order to achieve my dream in the future, I must keep reading. Reading has become part of my life.
In a word, reading can not only broaden our minds but also add more fun to our life.
