This great skill, however, was later appreciated by many in my life. Some even went so far as to say it was the only good thing they got from that school. While I can't fully agree with that sentiment, I understand how someone who didn't pursue a career in construction might feel that way.
Among the various fields of construction we studied, I was most fascinated by transportation structures. This interest, along with the prospect of contributing "my small part" to the development of Slovak roads and the legendary highway to the east, were key factors in my decision when choosing my field of study at university. I chose the IDKS program—Engineering Structures and Transportation Construction. Over time, I became more interested in the statics of structures, particularly concrete structures, rather than just the roads themselves. I remember it as if it were yesterday: in our third year, we had to decide on our specialization. We were standing outside on the steps of the Slovak University of Technology, discussing various options. When I heard that concrete bridges were said to be the most challenging, my decision was made. I thought, "If I'm here, I might as well make it worthwhile." Looking back now, I'm very glad I made that decision without hesitation. It's true what they say: the most difficult paths often lead to the most beautiful places. The last two years of my studies flew by, and I began working at CEMOS s.r.o., where, coincidentally, the current director was also my thesis advisor at the time.
