Exploring and Taking Risks

College is an important time in everyones life. Being in college means it is time to start taking risks and exploring your options. I have come to learn that a culinary degree opens up thousands of doors all over the world. Recently I took a trip to Seattle (by myself) to explore my options. I know that Seattle is a place that I would like to end up at some point in my life, therefore I took the risk and traveled there for spring break to make sure it was right for me. I fell in love, but I know there are a ton of steps I need to take before I can get there. Sullivan also holds an incredible career fair which showcases many fantastic businesses that will be a great way to get experience in your field. I met tons of amazing people, who I know want to help me get my foot in the culinary door. For me, it is important to take the risks that will lead me in the right direction for my future. If you don't take risks and put yourself out there, you may never find what is right for you. You will find things you are good at and things that you absolutely hate, but if you don't try you will never know. Just remember, there is no holding back when you are doing something you love.
