Day Off of Classes
Posted by Sam on November 24, 2009
Going back to school was a big jump for me. I had thought that I would be working in retail sales for my entire life, but one day, I came to work and the store was closed. I guess business wasn’t as good as we all thought and our branch closed.
Faced with the prospect of finding another job, I thought to myself that this might be a good opportunity to finally follow my dreams and go back to school. Deep down, I always had a love for cooking and I thought that someday I could monetize my passion, but sadly that never happened.
Maybe this was my chance.
So, I enrolled in cooking school and it has been a grueling two months so far. I thought that I was good at cooking, but truth be told, I had no idea. In fact, the experience so far has been very trying and I have seen a number of my colleagues quit because they couldn’t handle the pressure.
But I have persevered and have finally been rewarded with a day off. I thought that I would do something fun today, but in the end, I have just ended up cooking. Alright, it isn’t for fun, but rather to practice for our exam on Friday – I hope I will be ready.
