Chef Pâtissier ... Jackson, Ivory

YES!!!! Everyone I am SO happy today! Okay so the main thing is I took the state-mandated Foods/Nutrition test. This test is required to be taken in order for students to be able to participate in actual cooking/baking/food preparation in general. And........I PASSED!!!!! I got a 39/40 total score, the required amount to be able to cook is 70%-above. I got around a 99% (I got 1 question wrong!) That means that on April 18, 2016 when we do our 1st lab (making cookies) I'll be able to participate and bake some cookies! Now, for those who don't know what a Pastry Chef is...A pastry chef or pâtissier (pronounced: [pɑ.ti.sje]; the French female version of the word is pâtissière [pɑ.ti.sjɛʁ]), is a station chef in a professional kitchen, skilled in the making of pastries, desserts, breads and other baked goods. They are employed in large hotels, bistros, restaurants, bakeries, and some cafés. That is what my future goal plan is and I've been working really hard to reach my goal. I may only be a Junior in Highschool now...but I've got my game plan set and am making waves!

In other news...Today was awesome! 1st hour: Sub = Me on my phone the whole hour., 2nd hour: Teach was there but we watched a movie instead of working., 3rd hour: DID SHIT!!!, 4th hour: PASSED THE TEST!!!!

Til' next time,
