Don't call it work!

Many people graduating high school don't know what they want to do when they graduate. So they typically choose a career that their parents want them to do or something that society deems as acceptable. However, they find that halfway through college they aren't happy. They either suffer through and stay unhappy in their career or they switch majors and spend a few more years in school only to realize they still aren't happy.

When I started at Sullivan, I honestly wasn't sure what I was doing here. I started at Sullivan as a Baking and Pastry student. I have no clue where I came up with the idea to go to school for baking. My second quarter of Baking 1 made me realized how unhappy I had become since first quarter in basic skills. I began to doubt why I was even at Sullivan. I had to sit down and think hard about the past 6 months. I realized how much I had enjoyed my first quarter. After talking to my friends,family, and reevaluating myself I realized that my heart was truly with the culinary program. I switched my major, and am now finishing up my 3rd quarter in Garde Manger.  I have learned so many skills and every time I am in lab I have a smile on and I crave cooking when I'm not in lab. I know that I made the right decision and will be happy for years to come.

Remember: you if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.
