TO COOK!
i have finally manned up and made the decision to go back to school to take culinary classes. this is something that i have wanted to do for a long time and i have been putting it off because i already have so many school loans but HEY im not going to open my own cafe or catering business by sitting on my ass.
all of my friends are starting to get all these amazing promotion opportunities, and at first i cannot lie i was jealous. i mean i put in 3 long years into my hotel career, but then it hit me.. do i want to be a front office manager, NO. do i want to be a housekeeping manager, NO. do i want to work in a sales office, NO. so what do i need to do, what makes me happy.. cooking.
i have been researching a few different culinary institutes, but i think that the culinary institute of charleston is my winner! my hope is that i can get into a restaruarnt and learn as much as i can and then by 30 begin the process of owning my own small catering company. the way i see it is, some people go to med school, some law school, ill go to culinary school and then once ive got all the tools in front of me and the skillset to cook professionally the only person i cant be mad at for not getting promoted is me.
wish me luck everyone, and ill keep ya posted! hopefully enrolled in culinary school by jan 2012
eat laugh love & enjoy
I just wanted to say how proud I am of you for realizing your dream, and for going forth to make it a reality! As your friend and former co-worker, I have had the opportunity to interact with you under a number of different circumstances. when you left your old job to move to Charleston, i knew that it would be hard for you to leave your home of the past 5 years (and all your friends)--put you took that leap and found a new job in a new town that you seem to love. now, you're reaching further to realize your true goals, and finding ways to make it work. i cant wait to visit you in your new home and see all the great changes your are making in your life (instead of just reading about them)!
