Cummings goes from calendar cover to aspiring cyber security specialist

By Lucy Weber

The cute 8-month-old baby featured as the Baby of the Year on The Community News Flash calendar in 2004 might be guarding your computer data one day.

Bray Cummings, 19, the cover boy on that calendar 19 years ago, is now a freshman at Northeast Community College majoring in Cyber Defense.

“In five years, I plan to have a career in Cyber Security. It would be nice to be close to home, but I will go wherever my career takes me to,” said Cummings, a 2022 graduate of Corinth High School.

The calendars were published by The Community Flash in 2004 and 2005 and featured adorable babies and toddlers in the Corinth area. The proceeds from the calendar went to a scholarship fund at that time. The paper is reconnecting with those featured in the calendars to share how those children have grown into the accomplished young women and men they are today. Parents nominated their children to be in the calendar.

Corinth was a wonderful place to grow up, said Cummings, who works at Pizza Grocery while attending college. “My life has been great since I was on the calendar. I have tried to live life to the fullest,” he said. “I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.”

Cummings said he has always tried to live his life according to the best advice he ever received: “To always put God first and to always work hard for what I want in order to be successful.”
