Chefeetaboopers

I’ve wanted to be a chef for a while now. It started when I was in 8th grade and my family started teaching me interesting cooking techniques. From then on, I would go into high school and be one in probably 5 or 4 kids ACTUALLY interested in culinary arts out of the 2000 or so kids that attended the same school as me. I joined the culinary arts team and, even though my team and I never won, we enjoyed the experience and I got to cook with a renowned chef of the city my school is in. Now, I’m going to be a second year culinary student. I finished my first year in June. It was a tough year- I had to deal with a team that didn’t help me at all which made it difficult to get things done in my section of my school’s student run restaurant. I had trouble dealing with one of my main chef’s- he tends to like embarrassing people a little too much in front of the class. My first term was worse than my other two terms but I had a tough time trying to correctly cut up a frozen chicken into airline breasts in 2 hours and still do 3 other harder dishes in my second term. Although my year was tough, I persevered and will be one of the remaining people from my first year continuing on while many of the people from my first year quit! I have a feeling that this year and my third year will go great and will present even better experience for my lessons learned to become a well-skilled chef!
