This blog will serve as a way for me your beloved AA, to get information out to you. It is your responsibility to check it often for updates and things to do. This way we can cut down on SMS messages and emails that would not only flood your inbox but tsunami mine.
Like I told you guys the first time we met, I am not here to baby sit or to hold your hand. You guys are old enough and i can imagine mature enough to being a good student first, then becoming a certified cook.
Remember that nothing comes easy, and what is expected of you is discipline (defined as a behaviour in accord with rules of conduct) and perseverance (a steady persistence in a course of action). If you subscribe to these principles to guide your life her as a student in the culinary course, you can expect to do well and win the favour of your lecturers and then one day soon your employers.
I have high hopes for all of you, even if some of you look like you won't make it. But I personally think you will surprise me. Remember to apply a high standard to whatever you do.
By the time you read this, you would have already been divided into your various groups. Get to know them better and act as a unit. The kitchen brigade was organized by Chef Auguste Escoffier to follow the army. In an army unit everyone works together, sometimes you get hurt and someone carries you, sometimes you carry others. But you work, and work to get things done. In an army unit you became the best of friends with the people who are in your unit. This will be no different. No matter what arguments or disagreements, you have it settled by the end of the day, so that you go home not thinking about it.
So before I continue yakking, here is a video clip i thought you should see. Kind of sums up all that i have to say of your time here at KDU SHTCA. I don't settle for second best. Only the best you can give.
