Last quarter ended with bronchitis that turned into pneumonia and a slip in the kitchen on the last day of school that landed me in the E.R. with a head injury. I have to admit I ended my first quarter of culinary school feeling defeated and discouraged. I began to question if I was supposed to be there.
I had a chance to recuperate on vacation in LA. Away from the kids and the demands of college. As my strength returned and the knot on my head shrunk I realized all that I had accomplished that last week of school. With pneumonia,and the fever that accompanied it, I not only passed all 5 of my exams, I aced them. So, I ended the quarter with a 4.0 GPA and the knowledge that I am stronger than I think I am.
Last week quarter two started. It is good to back in the kitchen again. I missed my classmates and the fast pace of the kitchen. I am so determined to finish this thing and nothing is going to stop me.
