college
I got my first college packet today. It was from one of the two pastry colleges I requested info from. I looked it through and it's realy interesting. My mom thinks that I should dab a little in the field before deciding exactly want I want to do. So she gave me a challenge of sorts. I have to try and find a part time job at local bakeries, I have to call around and see if any are willing to let me come and see a little of what goes into being a pastry chef, and I have to make four different hard recipes. They are, apple turnovers, cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, and cheese cake. Each homemade. No box mixes, all from scratch.
So far I've started on the last part, making the recipes. I've found a few recipes for each so my mom can pick which ones she wants me to make. I've also started the shopping list. I will make the recipes and prove to my mother that I do understand how hard recipes can be and that I do really want to become a pastry chef.
My only concern for this whole challenge is what happens if I flop and turn out to be a failure at baking. Then I'll have to set some other career as my goal and dream, even though being a pastry chef at my own business is my true dream. That will leave either nursing or automotive technician as my profession, and I highly doubt my mom would let me be a car mechanic. And If niether of those I like then I will have to find a whole new goal for a career. What career? I have no clue but I'm sure if I have to go through three careers to find something I'm good at, I might just lose all interest in going to college and live at home for the rest of my life. I think I'll go to bed before one: the power goes out and two: i become insanely depressed by that last thought. nighters.
