Looking Forward to Next Fall

mail One of the things that I have always dreamed of was to be a professional chef.  I don’t know if it was my mother’s cooking, or all those cooking shows they seem to have on television, but I knew that cooking was my calling.

So, when it came to decide what I wanted to do after high school, it seemed like a no-brainer: I was going to go into a culinary education program.  Even though deciding what to take was the easy part, it was going to be a challenge to decide where I wanted to get my education.

As it turns out, there are a number of cooking schools across our fine nation, but I really didn’t know which one I wanted to attend.  Unfortunately, I didn’t know anyone who was a chef, so I was going to have to do my own research as to what school I wanted to go to.

Thankfully there were many different sites that had reviews on the different schools, and I was able to figure out which ones had the better programs.  I ended up with a short list of five schools, and I have mailed off my application to each one of them.

I hope that I am accepted at one of them and I will be able to attend in the fall.  I am sure looking forward to it.

Choosing a Frame for your Masters Diploma

Choosing a diploma frame for your first college diploma was probably tough. But choosing a college diploma frame for your advanced degrees is even tougher. You want to get a high-end frame that really represents the hard work and dedication that goes into getting a Masters or PhD.

Some things that you can choose to make your diploma frame a truly high-end choice include:

  • High quality wood. You don’t want to get the cheap stuff when you’re preparing your Masters Degree for its diploma display.
  • Ornately patterned wood. The design of the frame itself should be ornately patterned for a degree that was difficult to achieve.
  • Leather mat. You don’t want to get a standard paper mat for the advanced degree diploma frame. Choose one in leather or faux leather instead. Suede and other textured materials are also options.
  • Large size. You want to get a frame that is larger than the frame for your Bachelor’s Degree. This helps denote the significance of this new degree. You can get a frame-within-a-frame or get a larger frame and larger mat; either option increases the size of the framed diploma.

All of these little things add up to a diploma frame that is worthy of your advanced degree.

Practicing my Cooking Skills

cooking One of the things that I have learned in life is that nothing comes easy for me when it comes to school.  In terms of studying for classes and exams, I have had to go over the same material time and time again for it to sink in.  I don’t know if I have a learning disability or if that is just the way I am, but sometimes it can be frustrating.

Thankfully, I am now enrolled in  a cooking school and studying is a whole different game.  Instead of having to pour over books and memorize everything, I have to practice the culinary arts instead.  This means that I have been entertaining a whole lot more than I usually do, and it isn’t uncommon for me to prepare gourmet meals five nights per week.

Though this practicing has had a price when it comes to the cost of food in our home, it has been a wonderful experience.  It seems that I learn better hands on, and cooking is the perfect outlet for this type of learning.  In fact, I am doing the best that I have ever done at school and it feels great.

Besides, learning never tasted so good.

Becoming a Complement to my Wife

After growing up in a household where both of my parents worked together, I decided that when I finally married my sweetheart, that we would work together too.  I thought that it would make sense, and give us the opportunity to spend even more time together at work and at home.

As it turned out, I met the most beautiful woman in the world and she was a dentist.  We dated for two years and finally tied the knot in marriage.  At the time, she was working with another dentist, but we decided that it would be better for us to go on our own and start our own practice.

At the time, I was just finishing my Master of Public Health with a dental emphasis so I figured that it would be a perfect fit for our new venture.  It was perfect, and we have been working together ever since.

But now, my wife has decided that she wants to further her education and she has been looking at some Doctoral Degrees in Health Education to further round out her skills.  I think that she might want to teach at some point and move away from having her own dental practice, but we will have to wait and see.

Needless to say, I am so very happy that we have been working together for all of these years - it has been the best thing for our relationship.
