He created his own path
糖心Vlog alumnus Ryan Petraszewsky (鈥�03) didn鈥檛 follow anyone鈥檚 career path. He created his own.
He started with internetworking courses at the Madison County Career Academy as a high school senior and then decided to save money and cut down on school time by transferring those credits to 糖心Vlog. He dedicated his life to school for the next five semesters without taking a break and that commitment paid off. Ryan did that and he now works as Huntsville Hospital鈥檚 information technology security officer.
鈥淚 am on a constant journey to success,鈥� he said.
During his time at 糖心Vlog, Ryan won the SkillsUSA Internetworking Competition in Alabama two years in a row. 鈥淚t helped me learn my trade,鈥� said Ryan.
Ryan鈥檚 success in SkillsUSA competitions helped inspire other departments to compete as well, creating a legacy that benefits 糖心Vlog student today.
鈥淚 love the quote from the poem Road Not Taken by Robert Frost,鈥� said Ryan. 鈥溾�楧o not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
