Introduction
Hello! My name is Sonia Slusarczyk. I am in Honours Bachelors of Science in Biological Sciences and I am doing a Minor in Nutritional and Nutraceutical sciences. I am taking this course because I find it to be very interesting. The picture that I have posted is of my puppy Messi who was named after a famous soccer player.

I was born December 27th, 1989 in Lviv, Ukraine, which is one of the largest and most beautiful cities in Ukraine .When I was four, living in Waterloo, Ontario, I began playing the violin. I played in many recitals, competitions, and was part of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Youth Orchestra. I did a lot of volunteering throughout my life. I was a councilor at the Ukrainian Youth Organization in Toronto, Ontario. I volunteered at the Cancer Centre in the Grand River Hospital, and I am now volunteering as a teacher's assistant for Ukrainian School, teaching small children to speak.

Future Goals

I love to play the violin and I enjoy many different genres of music. I have recently purchased a Nikon D3000 and love taking pictures. To the right is a photograph that I took when visiting Austria last summer. I have an interest in languages especially Spanish and Italian, and I try to take in a lot of culture when I travel. This August I will be visiting Rome, also known as the eternal city and Porto Fino in Italy and will be camping in the Plitvice National Park as well as visiting Dubrovnik in Croatia.
