My full name is Michelle Samantha Polasky, I am from the Lummi Indian Reservation in Washington state. I’m Lummi, Athabaskan and a quarter white. I’m very interested in Astronomy, I love star-gazing. The only sport I like is volleyball. I also love reading when I have the time. This is my second year coming to Pitzer, I first learned about this program from a nurse at our school. Since then, The Lummi Youth Academy has been very supportive about bringing more youth to the pipeline. I was interested in coming back to the program because of how much knowledge about other tribes, cultures and people I’ve learned. Today was our first day and I thought it was fun, I enjoyed the icebreakers and getting to know the new students this year. I’m very excited for the rest of the program.

Mine and Dani's #peachesforlife hashtag started last year with all caps, so this year we thought we'd carry on the tradition but with all lower cases hahaha. But I never eat peaches, so I don't know what I was thinking last year lol. View all posts by Michelle Samantha Polasky

Did you see the sky in June when Jupiter and Venus were kept getting closer and closer to each other?! Cosmic bodies and Astronomy are some of my favorite things! I’m really happy to hear you had fun on the first day!
