I am obsessed with food and the culinary industry as a whole. There is quite a significant reason for that, and with this essay, I hope to explain those reasons and explain my passion for this industry. Life was not particularly easy for me at this time, my mother unfortunately was addicted to meth and struggled with her demons. As a result, she often neglected me and my sister, we would often go hungry. There were often that my sister and I resorted to breaking into homes to find food. It was a risky routine, that I usually followed the only thing driving me forward was my hunger. I would quickly rummage through cupboards and refrigerators take what I could then leave. Those stolen meals often became brief moments of solace in my life. I eventually moved in with my father at around the age of six. My father led a challenging life. You see he was a mover. His days were often filled with backbreaking work. It became even harder for him when I moved in, he now had to worry about me along with his harsh job. Despite this the moment I stepped into my father’s apartment, I was met with a warmth I had not experienced before. My father did everything to ensure my well-being. No matter how tired he was there was always a nice warm meal waiting for me at home. I was amazed by the compassion my father showed me. For the first time in my life, I learned what It meant to be cared for. His compassion made a lasting impact on me. I decided in 5th grade that I want to be a chef. I wanted to share the warmth that I experienced through my father’s dishes. As the years went by, I began to hone my craft learning from my experiments in the kitchen. I devoured all the knowledge I could from the industry. Eventually, I decided to go to culinary school and become classically trained. In school, I have learned so many techniques that I had never even considered before. Learning from great and wonderful chefs has pushed my passion forward. Due to these chefs’ trainings and teachings, my expertise in the kitchen has grown ten-fold. As I continue down this journey my goals have expanded. Before I was content with just becoming a chef but that is no longer the case. I now want to own two restaurants that will cater to two different kinds of audiences within the industry. The first is an ambitious vision I will admit, a top-notch classical French fine-dining restaurant. This is where I aspire to become a Michelin Star chef. I aim to create a culinary experience that will elevate people’s palates, showcasing my skills and creativity in every dish. I also want to pay forward the love and compassion that my father showed me; That helped me get out of my darkest times. To achieve this I want to own a humble diner that is completely opposite to the fine dining restaurant. This diner will be dedicated to supporting and nourishing young children who have faced food insecurities in their life. In this diner, I plan to offer meals to children under the age of eight years old, completely free of charge. The menu would be carefully crafted to meet their nutritional need, ensuring that delicious and wholesome meals are accessible to those who need them most. I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment, where children could enjoy their meals without worry about where their next meal will come from.

I will become a Michelin Star chef that the world can not ignore.
