The start of something new can be scary, intimidating and exciting all at once. After 11 years of working in an office environment and a string of unfortunate circumstances, I made the decision to go to Culinary school.
I called Le Cordon Bleu and the Art Institute of California and started gathering my options. Both programs are very similar, same time frame and same area of town. The biggest determining factor for me was the cost of the program. $17k vs $60k. After considering all my financial aid and scholarship options, I chose Le Cordon Bleu. I set up an open house appointment and started the wheels in motion. When I met with Lorolei, my admissions rep, we talked about why I want to be in Culinary school and what I wanted to achieve. OF COURSE I started to cry. For the first time, I feel that I am doing what is good for me, what I want to do and what I would enjoy to continue to do. For a few weeks, I continue the admissions process: financial aid, testing, uniform fittings, orientation and a lot of prep. October 1 was the start of a 9 month process and I was and still am very excited and scared. Scared of the unknown and the future, but excited for the same things.
Join me for this journey that is sure to test me, inspire me and hopefully help me succeed. There will be pictures, and for some of you that are lucky to be in the right place at the right time, there will be samples.
