Pursuing something that interests me the most is something that means a lot to me. My topic really interests me because it allows me to be creative in a different way than drawing or painting. This is necessary for me because it is something that I want to stretch my knowledge on, and something I may want to pursue after college. 

It will only personally benefit me. Working on it now and pursuing it in the long run could really benefit me because I could make money as a career with it. It will expand my culinary experience and make me more versatile. It will also benefit me because even if I don’t pursue it and choose something else, it could just be something fun I like to do. Or even a back up plan.

This could be something I am really potentially proud of. I have the hard work and dedication to get the work done and make the best out of it. I would be proud to have this on a college application or a job resume because it will show my hard work and determination to actually expand what I already know about culinary and get the most out of it. It will show what I can bring to the table whether it is a job or college.

This will be a stretch of my current knowledge because ever since I grew up I would watch cooking shows where I learned a bunch of techniques and I cook all of the time, but this time is different. Now I will get the hands on mentoring which will expand my knowledge tremendously on different varieties of foods, different preparations, and new skills in the kitchen. Broadening my knowledge a lot in this area.

Success for me will be making a bunch of different foods that are hard or I want to make better, using the different techniques I will take away from this experience. A couple pieces of my own work in the kitchen will measure my success during the period of me learning more stuff about the culinary arts from my mentor.
