Daniel Rusiecki

As a child, I was restricted from participating in sports due to my asthma. Initially, my family didn't perceive it as severe, but over time, my asthma attacks became more frequent. Finding solace in movies and books, I discovered my passion for filmmaking. I aspire to create films that offer the same solace I sought during my childhood, a comfort I still seek today. Securing this scholarship would significantly support my academic journey.  My ambition is to produce films while pursuing my undergraduate studies, with the ultimate goal of attending a prestigious graduate school and obtaining a PhD in literature. This scholarship would alleviate the financial burden of tuition and provide me with the necessary time management to balance my workload, preventing me from overexerting myself, particularly considering my asthma. There are instances during certain activities when I easily become winded and require brief respites.
