Second-year student at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, majoring in Czech Language and Literature

(21 years old)

Agi was an absolutely extraordinary person. Whether as an amazing sister, daughter, friend, classmate, or anything else, because she managed to juggle a lot in her incredibly packed schedule. Her life was one big chaos, but Agi, being a true positive ball of nerves, held that chaos firmly in her reins and tamed it.

She used order as a counterbalance in her life. Everything had to be neatly arranged, organised, and most importantly, follow a plan. Yet she always found time for her family and friends, for whom she would do anything. She could listen to anyone, provide support they needed, and help guide them back onto the right path. You could never be bored with her—whether through her occasional clumsiness or humour, she always brought a smile to her loved ones' faces.

She loved to read in her tidy room. She could do this for hours on end, and no one was allowed to interrupt her—otherwise, there would be trouble. She was relentless in encouraging everyone around her to read too, though not everyone appreciated it at the time. But Agi never gave up. Her love for literature and the Czech language led her to study at the Faculty of Arts at Charles University. As she often said: “The only thing I know from high school is Czech, so I'll study Czech.” Czech also briefly found its way into her professional life, when, as a reporter, she roamed the streets of Prague in search of interesting stories to write about. This work fulfilled her immensely, and she finally found her calling.

Volleyball was also a big part of her life, having played it since childhood, and she continued during high school in České Budějovice, where the school's sports program allowed her to fully devote herself to the sport. Among her greatest achievements was being named to the top six in the Junior category at the Přerov Grand Prix 2021, and in the same year, earning the title of Best Blocker at the 12th Grand Prix in České Budějovice. She wasn’t just a player, though—she also coached young girls in volleyball.

It's not easy to come to terms with Agáta’s passing. The world has lost a promising writer, a coach, an amateur traveller, a lover of the colour yellow, tulips, and a companion whose kindness, humour, and determination will be practically impossible to replace. But at the very least, she will remain an inspiration to her closest ones, reminding them that nothing is impossible—you just need to organise things properly!
