Andrea Talábová

The director of the special school is surprised and pleased at the same time. He sees us in school for the fourth time. When he finds out who we’re here to appreciate this time, he’ll just say that Aďka deserves two diplomas. He’s just driving to the campus. We’re waiting around the corner of the building to get out of the car. It’ll be a surprise. It was. The door of the building, however, reached another path from the parking lot. Luckily, the director waved, and we caught Andrea outside. Appreciation will affect her, and tears will shine in her eyes. She sees nothing special in her work, enjoys working with people and helping children. This way of life gives her meaning, pleasure, and fulfillment. Adoration to colleagues is mutual according to Aďka. Sometimes the days are better, sometimes worse, and it is wonderful to have people with them who support them when they do well, even if they do not succeed.

Like in school, Andrea works at home. With her husband, Ivan, they adopted two children and created a loving home for them.
