I am studying to become a pastry chef and I love it!  It is actually much more stressful than I thought it would be but I am so happy!  My classes are so great!  When I graduated from high school, I was really worried about going to college.  I did well and I made pretty good grades but I just could not image going to school for another four years.  I love my classes at the culinary institute because we actually do things.  It’s hands on and we actually do the techniques while we are learning about them. 

I had so many classes in high school that I sat in, bored out of my mind, wondering when on earth I was ever going to use the information.  I never feel that way at my culinary school.  I know that I will use everything that we learn and practice.  There were different culinary arts degrees that I could choose from.  I definitely made the right choice with the pastry arts program.  It is perfect for me!  I am so excited to graduate and start working.  I have even had some jobs already.  I’ve done some baking for a few weddings and showers.  Maybe I can even do something like that full time after I graduate.
