Personal Narrative: My Life After High School

I had to dig deep for this! Dig deep to figure out what big problems I faced throughout these past years. It wasn't easy for me because I faced many difficulties throughout my life.

In order for me to go to culinary school, I had to do my best in school because culinary school is not affordable. Especially for my family. I have many opportunities through program to earn a scholarship. If I work hard and get good grades I'll reach my
