A Step by Step Journey

     Way back when I was in my childhood years, I always forced my mom and dad to buy me toy kitchen utensils, like pans,  pots, knife, spoon and fork. When it’s my lucky day I was able to go home with a complete set of it. Then for the coming day I will ask my yaya to call my friends and cousins to visit our house. We always play “luto-lutuan” in our backyard. We use to pick up fresh flowers and leaves for our ingredients. Sometimes without my parents I will get some fruits or vegetables in our grocery. I pretend to be a chef in my own restaurant and my friends and cousins are my assistant chef or guests. I also visit my friends house and watch her mom bake meringue, puto and cookies, we also help her mom giving the ingredients she needs. 

     As I get a little bit older, when my mom cooks at home I am the one who mixes the food in the pan or pot. I also started cooking by my self simple foods like hotdogs, eggs and pancakes. I enjoy going to grocery stores to see different kinds of milks, bread, meat and beverages. When I was in my six year in elementary I joined a club about cooking because I want to have more experience and I started buying magazines of foods and I always watch food networks

     As I enter high school I was so glad to find out that we have a cooking subject. That subject was my highest of all the subject. I always want to be the leader in my group. I love garnishing food plates for presentation. When 3rd year of high school approached, we start looking what courses best fit our personality. We also start searching for different schools. One afternoon while me and my friends was having a review in a review center, one on my old friend's mom gave me a brochure of Enderun Colleges. She said that what if I try taking the entrance exam in this school because she knows I love to cook and every time me and her daughter has a bonding I cook for them simple dishes.

     As I read the Enderun Colleges brochure I'm getting to love this school. So I made sure that I will take an exam and make sure to pass it because it's my dream school. My parents just supported me all the way. 2 weeks after my exam and interview there was a delivery by Air 21 at the middle of my movie marathon. I was so excited to open the letter but also a bit nervous to see the result. When I read that "congratulation" word, I jump and scream at home. Now in my college life I know that I took the right course and school for me. Now I enjoy staying in this school because everyone is cool and approachable not only the students but also the profs. Me and my friends here really enjoy our course and decided to make a new organization in this school which was approved and now existing.
