Some people would go through anything just to achieve their dream.Kasia Siwosz is proof.Born in Poland,Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division (國(guó)際網(wǎng)球聯(lián)會(huì)青少年賽).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 (大學(xué)的)sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic study there.You can only do one,not both," Siwosz said.
   Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream.While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career,she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to four-year schools,mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.
   When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer,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."I wasn't happy at Baylor.The level of tennis was high,but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more."
   After one year at Baylor,Siwosz's luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley,which was due in large part to Lee,a former Berkeley student.Lee,who is a keen tennis player himself,met Siwosz four years ago in Texas."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."
