A few months back I was featured in a new project of the UW Career Center called myStory:

The path to discovering one’s passion and/or a career is, for most, far from a linear process. During the college years, experiences both in and outside the classroom shape us in unexpected ways, offering new perspectives and creating new interests that can profoundly impact our future. The UW Career Center’s myStory project is a collection of stories from students just like you. In their stories, we hope you will find inspiration and ideas that lead to your own personal success story! Below our stories of other students who have found success in their career, internship and schooling. Do you have a story for us?

Which is hilarious to me because…well…I’ve dropped out of UW because of my current career ;) (Or how the article describes it, I’m on hiatus). But I can see where they are coming from, my passion for parkour did come to fruition during my time in college and it was an endowment from the school that encouraged me to follow it fully (they probably didn’t expect I’d take it to this level when they awarded it to me though).

The article is actually really good though, and the one I’m probably the most proud of with everything considered. Thanks Cara and Alyce!

There you are, trudging across campus and dragging a 40 pound backpack behind you. It’s just another ordinary day here at the UW, when wait, are you kidding? Did you just see that guy swing over that railing, leap up onto that wall, grab a tree branch and after flying through the air, land gracefully on his feet? What was that?

Well, you likely just encountered Tyson Cecka who emphatically does not trudge anywhere.
