_____________________________________

I was born on September 13rd 1984 in former Gottwaldov, nowadays Zlin. Since my childhood I live in spa town Luhacovice, first in my grandmom's house till 1987, from this year we live in Druzstevni street. I was attending basic school in Luhacovice, first class in building of currect Secondary vocational school, for the fourth class I was commuting to Kladna-Zilin, it's a small part of Luhacovice approximately 7km far away and the rest of my basic school studies I spent in main builing of Basic School Luhacovice. From 5th class I was a member of class with extended education of math and scientifical subjects.

Math, English and Geography were my favourite subjects ... on the other hand, physics was not favourite enought. During these year I took part in some olympics - mainly in math (i.a. Kangaroo), geography (school round, international contest Eurorebus) and in English. I also completed a full-time course in skiing in the 7th class at Kopanky.

Because of fact I was not clear about my future I decided to try lucky at Secondary grammar school in Uhersky Brod, which is not far from Luhacovice. I was 26th in thr entry examination and was about to initiate second chapter of my school time. I have spent four fine years at this school, the bad side was the early commuting from my hometown. I took part in annual class trips, but the best one was in the last year of my studies - we went to Prague, traditional place of 4th class trips. Prague wasn't unknown city for me, but I haven't been so far with school till this time. For example we were in the National theater on Sluha dvou panu (something like Servant of two landlords) by Carlo Goldoni and it was awesome. Me and my friend Ben we were wathing soccer game SS Lazio - Sparta Prague in Sparta Praha pub, directly next to the Sparta stadium.

This year (2004) was in sign of leaving examination and deciding about what to do in my future. But at first we had to write leaving essay. I chose to write essay about handicapped people and they integration into the society. After few weeks we were about to take oral examination. I was scheduled on Thurdays like one of the last students that day. My first subject was English - my teacher Mrs. Goldmannova had asked me right before coming into the room what topic I would like to draw. I answered number one: "The Czech Republic". And what happend, after one minute I was there and drew my topic: "The Czech Republic" ... what a lucky moment. I got map and started to speak. After English followed Math and I drew topic: "Functions". After math I was examined from Czech language (topics: realism) and geography (topic: biosphere - one of the most boring topics there). Leaving examination was over and after small celebration in Balkan restaurace we run in different directions heading to new adventure.

Before my university studies I had to apply for. I sent application forms to five universities, first examination was at Masaryk University in Brno, but I was not succesful. In the rest of my chosed universities I was succesful. I was decided to study in Brno. So I prefered this city before Ostrava, Zlin and Prague. If I summarise this step I can say it was very good choise. Our faculty is ranked among small faculties, we know almost each other and there is easier way to get abroad. By the way I also took part in international conference Euroweek 2006, which took place in Brno, and Euroweek 2007 in Norway. In the middle of year 2006 I succesfully passed leaving examination which consists of Economics, Law, Taxes and Accountancy. From all these exams I've got grade 1 (A) and I was also praised by head of board (director of engineering company from Brno). He also said it's obvious I have big experience from praxis :-D

To study at university also gave me opportunity to get to United States. After first year at uni me and my friend Jiri were thinking about going abroad and we decided for USA. First we considered Student agency, but then we decided for CCUSA, which had a better policy for us. We were supposed to be at one camp together so in order to make it we attended Camp Fair in Prague and make deal together. I am really happy I've been part of it, it brought me a nice experience and lot of good friends.

Nowadays I study fifth year at FBM and it means I will again take a leaving examination - I will try to obtain master degree and therefore finish my studies. Sometimes I dally with the idea of studying PhD or MBA studies, but I am not yet decided. If I had chose PhD studies it would be only on external basis. But I incline to MBA studies, because it's more valuable for business life.
