My studies have brought me a lot of knowledge, friends, new experiences, travel, practice and experiences. Sometimes you don't need to succeed the first time, even the second attempt counts and life goes on and no one asks how many times you passed the entrance exams or state exams, the main thing is to do school successfully and be proud of yourself.

The internships were beneficial to me, it was a great experience in the field. My fondest memories are of the other students, the school gave me friends for life. I work in the logistics industry and deal with recruitment and people management, event planning and I draw on the fact that the school gave me confidence and the art of communication.

I remember the period of my studies at the VŠPJ very fondly and often. They were wonderful years that gave me not only a lot of experience, but also friends for life. Even today we still do not understand how we managed to finish the whole school. :) Many thanks to all the teachers who were often strict, uncompromising, but always willing to lend a helping hand. We couldn't have done it without you!
