Your Memorable Experiences and Impression you have at the school
I was very happy every day that I went to the school because I got to do what I love and good at. To be able to see the result of our hard work come out beautifully makes me feel very proud of myself. Even though some lessons were very difficult in the beginning during the demonstration and seemed like my classmates and I won’t be able to achieve it, but eventually, we all did it! We were able to produce our own masterpiece. I’m talking about the wedding cake decoration workshop.
Until today, I am still grateful with many minor events that always occur in the classroom. There was a time; one of our classmates was making a mistake with the entremet. By that time, chef and other classmates were gathered and helped fixing it so finally everyone in that class could go home with the beautiful entremets.
Your Future Plan
