As a culinary student from the vibrant heart of the Philippines, my dreams are as diverse as the dishes we have here. My ultimate goal is to own a restaurant that becomes a melting pot of cultures, where every dish tells a story. As a person, I'm driven, creative, and constantly seeking new flavors of life. I express myself through the food I create, blending traditional Filipino recipes with international twists to craft unique culinary experiences.

Culinary arts is not just about cooking; it's an expression of love and creativity. My passion lies in the process of transforming simple ingredients into a masterpiece that can bring people together. Outside the kitchen, I enjoy exploring nature, capturing moments through photography, and diving into books that expand my culinary and cultural knowledge. These hobbies feed my soul and inspire my cooking, making every dish I create a piece of me.

Inside the classroom, hands-on cooking sessions are where I thrive. The ability to experiment, taste, and adjust recipes in real-time is invaluable. Collaborative projects and practical assessments also work well, offering opportunities to learn from my peers and understand different culinary perspectives. Visual aids and demonstrations by instructors greatly enhance my learning, making complex techniques more approachable.

On the flip side, traditional lecture-based classes without interactive components tend to lose my engagement. I find it challenging to stay focused when the content is not directly applicable to practical cooking scenarios. Long, uninterrupted theory sessions without breaks or opportunities for hands-on application can be tedious and less effective for my learning style.

Accounting as a class is like a durian fruit to me – you either love it or hate it, and I’m somewhere in the middle. While I acknowledge its importance in understanding the financial aspects of running a restaurant, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by the numbers and technicalities. It's a challenging part of my education, but I’m determined to conquer it as best as I can.
