Coming into this class, I had a few expectations, but having already been in the class last year, I had an idea of how things would be. I expect the class to not be fully motivated by our trip to Chicago in April, although that will obviously have an impact, but to be pushed by our dedication to culinary arts. I was looking forward to sharpening my culinary skills and preparing myself for culinary school next year.
I also expected to be surrounded by another group of girls who would hopefully be able to work together better than the group last year. For the most part, my expectations have been reached. I feel that our class works well together, although some girls are more dedicated than others. I fully admit that I have my days where I'm tired and don't want to do much, but I always work to my full ability to ensure that whoever is eating our food is beyond satisfied.
Second semester, I would like improve our work ethics. I want the entire class to put their hearts and passion fully into our work and caterings. I strongly believe that the amount of energy and passion you put into your cooking shows in your final product. If you don't care about what you're doing, your plate will turn out poorly. If you work to your best ability, your food will look and taste much better. If everyone works this way next semester, we will be able to build up our already great reputation.
Overall, I've had great experiences first semester. I get along with my classmates, we work well together to prepare delicious meals, and manage to have fun while doing it. I am looking forward to our many more caterings and our class trip to Chicago in April! I would definitely recommend this class to other students, as long as they knew they had to take it seriously and not to take it just to mess around and make food for themselves.
