Before she was able to get comfortable, her mom silently handed her an eight by eleven-inch white envelope with The Culinary Institute of America at the top left. This could only mean one thing, but she didn't wanted to get her hopes up too high. She nervously opened the envelope and slowly pulled out the letter that was in it. She then read the letter to herself while her mother stood there watching. After reading the first line and ignoring the rest, she screamed and then her mom followed. She had just found out that she was accepted into her dream school, The Culinary Institute of America. She had always loved food and enjoyed learning how to make it.

My mom dashed into the kitchen and wore her oven mitt to remove the cookies from the oven because she didn't trust me to do that safely myself. As I picked up a cookie and blew on it, the hot chocolate chip on top got stuck on the tip of my fingers. I licked off the melted chocolate chip on my fingers and took a little bite into the rich soft chocolate chip to fully enjoy it. The smell of the chocolate chip cookies filled the air in the small kitchen then eventually escaped into the living room. Before I knew it, I was on my eighth cookie, but decided that it still wasn't enough. I knew that it was a bad idea to have some more, but I went for it anyway. By the time that I was on my eleventh cookie, I could feel myself getting sick because of all that sugar. The worse part was that I also had a sugar rush, which was an awful experience because I ended up crashing from all that

But no matter what job she pursues, she hopes to have her own children (she is hoping for two) and a joyful family.

  • Personal Narrative: Lessons Learned From Getting To College

    556 Words  | 2 Pages

    Most of the lessons I have learned since getting to college have been the result of pretty strong wake up calls. As far as classes go, I have yet to fail a test but I have come fairly close. I am quickly realizing that I cannot just coast through school at this level. I cannot settle for average grades if I want to get into any sort of physical therapy program. Social aspects have resulted in much more obvious wake up calls. Getting caught drinking was far from ideal. The police making us run was one hell of a lesson. I do not know if it will be enough to make me stop drinking entirely but it will definitely stop me for the foreseeable future. I will also make sure to be a lot more careful about it. A huge lesson I learned from all of that is do not let idiots bring you down with their mistakes.

When I was originally looking at colleges, I had no idea what I wanted to major in. I figured a small liberal arts college would be a good choice because I would be able to figure out my interests and have some time to do so. Once I got to school, I realized that I was unhappy there, but I found one thing I really enjoyed. The horseback riding class I was taking inspired me to pursue a career with horses, or animals in general. It was something I really enjoyed and thought it could be fun.
