Ten Years From Now

     Ten years from now I want to be a culinary graduate from Stanford. I want to live in San Fransico, California where I can pursue my dream of becoming a chef. The reason why I want to become a chef is because I love being in the kitchen. While growing up I would always help my mom cook. I also love to draw. I love art class, and in cooking you use some art because your presentation is key.

     Continuing with my dream of being a chef, I want to own or at least start a successful restaurant. Another reason why I want to be a chef is that I always watch Food Network and that inspires me to do what they do. I get a lot of ideas from those shows. I just want to be able to drive past my restaurant and say, "I made it."

     I know a lot of restaurants tend to be pricey so a lot of families cannot afford food. I would help pay for their meal and if they are going through financial problems I will help provide their basic needs. I just want to be able to make a difference in someone's life.

     Cooking is not going to be my whole life. I also want to play volleyball in college. Sports is a big part of my life, especially volleyball. To me volleybll is the best way to clear your mind. I forget about everything and just focus on my game.

     Over the years I've wanted to be many things: firefighter (age 4), being famous (age 10), pro volleyball player (age 12), but I think that I will stick with being a chef. Last but certainly not least, I want to stay friends with my current friends and I definitely do not want to drift away from my family.
