Graduation is right around the corner!

It has been an amazing experience here at Sullivan.  I have just finished my internship at Winston's Restaurant, the culmination of my Culinary Arts degree.  I will proudly walk at the graduation ceremony in April.

I started at Sullivan University in June 2010; I was one of thirty-eight students in my class.  I was a somewhat reserved, eager kid excited to learn and meet new people.  I have accomplished much more than that!  Only nine of that original thirty-eight made it completely through the program.  I am the youngest of that group but maintained the highest grade(s) in our program.  I was given some amazing opportunities to work with very talented chefs from around the world at a number of charity and educational events.  I earned numerous scholarships to ensure my financial stability while enhancing my education.  I built a strong rapport with many administrators, instructors, and chefs at Sullivan that will serve as great networking connections in the future.

Yes, I've had my ups and downs.  But I've made it!  I've struggled; I've fought; I've been challenged.  But I made it!  I never gave up; I never failed.  And I made it!  With a little bit of faith in yourself, you can do the same :)
