I have a clear vision of my career goals‚ and the culinary arts program comprises exactly the skills and tools I need to succeed. Because I am determined and focused‚ I do not need anything more than the training and education the Art Institutes will provide. A commitment to a full-time four year‚ or even a part-time eight year degree program does not suit my personal or professional needs for several reasons. First‚ because I know exactly how I want to apply my new skills‚ I do not need any extraneous

The sky started to glow fiery red as the sun moved behind the mountains. My grandfather and I regularly walked during the evenings but that day we walked for a while. There was something different about that day‚ as though we didn’t want to go back home. We kept on strolling down the red brick road until we reached the famous Buddhist monument which was fairly close from our house. The monument had immense eyes that stared at everyone who walked past it. My grandfather explained to me that the eyes

Choices. To make choices is the greatest scare life can give‚ and ironically‚ we are given choices more frequently than steps that we take. Throughout my life‚ the world has presented me with choices and decisions that had to be made‚ and my elections have led me here‚ to your doorstep.
