Last week we held our first culinary club meeting and I was really excited to see the students excited about the club and taking the initiative to see it come together and be all that it has the potential to be. It was different for me because I was enthused and excited watching them being excited and enthused. I had a weird sense of satisfaction if you will, just knowing that I could serve as the vessel to help them achieve a range of experiences and accomplishment as it relates to culinary arts. They all had great ideas for fund raiser and community service deeds as well as ideas for fun yet educational outings. This would be the first time for me that I have sponsored a club so I am thrilled. Knowing that I can make a difference somewhere in someone in the profession that I love and am committed to truly brings my joy. My students remind every day that I am where I belong.
I can relate totally with you. the students excitement was over the top. They wanted to help, they feel like this club is just for them, and it is. There is such a sense of satisfaction when you see the students so excited about community service, and the educational outings, competition,and becoming officers. I believe that the students really like their teachers that are interested in them and want to make a difference in their life. you are obviously an awsome teacher!
