Greetings, My name is Kyela Gibbs, and I am currently enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America, San Antonio location. I was born and raised in a small rural town in Delaware, where my passion for food and cooking began at an early age. Growing up, I found huge joy in preparing meals for my family and friends. Cooking has always been more than just a task for me; it’s a creative outlet that allows me to express love, culture, and my unique personality. There’s something incredible about bringing people together around a table filled with delicious food, and I truly cherish those moments. As I embark on this culinary journey, my goal is to not only master my skills but also to inspire others. I believe that food has the power to connect us, and I want to share that passion with as many people as possible. Upon completion of my program, I plan to start my culinary career, focusing on creating memorable dining experiences that leave a lasting impression on those who enjoy my dishes. My enthusiasm for culinary arts is infectious, and I have a natural ability to motivate and inspire others with my dedication. I remember as a child always wanting to take cooking lessons and learn new techniques, but unfortunately, my community didn’t offer those programs. This experience has fueled my desire to give back. I envision creating my own culinary program aimed at the youth in my community, where I can teach them about cooking, nutrition, and healthy food habits. I want to provide children with opportunities that I never had, helping them develop essential cooking skills that they can carry with them throughout their lives. By instilling a love for cooking and an understanding of healthy eating, I hope to empower the next generation to make informed choices about their food. By creating a space where young people can come together to learn and share their experiences, I aim to build friendships and connections that extend beyond the kitchen. Cooking can be a powerful tool for collaboration, and I want to encourage teamwork and creativity in my program. In addition to teaching cooking techniques, I plan to incorporate lessons on the importance of healthy eating habits and using local ingredients, fostering a sense of community and responsibility towards our environment. I believe that by nurturing young chefs, we can cultivate a healthier, more connected community. I hope that you will thoroughly consider my application. I am confident that my passion and commitment to the culinary arts will shine through, and you will NOT be disappointed! Matthew 7:7 ✨
