I want to study at Le Cordon Bleu and Culinary Institute of America since I started the cooking school in Korea. I've heard one student told about the CIA. She also said she plans to go there. I didn't know what kind of the school was at that time. Well, I should have gone to France to learn cooking at the beginning of my career. I did not know how to go to France and find a master chef to learn from. There was no such information I couldn't find back then. Perhaps, I might not be hard enough to find these kind of information. Whenever I go to book store, most of cook books that I can find was for house wives or from the famous school, such as Le Cordon Bleu. Even the foreign language book section had so limited collection to find a good cook that inspired me.
For now, I don't want to blame anything or anybody. Whenever I saw someone work better than me but has less years of experience, I am so angry at myself because one year in the cooking school, 1 year at family dining restaurant, 1 year at spaghetti restaurant, 2 years of military service and over one year of studying English didn't help me to be better, I am still shit. Because my past experiences weren't rich and seasoned, I think it probably be good idea to study at Culinary Institute of America and find a master chefs to learn their master skills. The only problem is I don't have enough money for anything. The school tuition fee is far expensive and working for the chef also takes a lot of cost, but I got nothing. Even though I really want to ask somebody about money, it is not too easy since I have to ask a lot of money. I've been asking my mother. She promised me for paying my education. However, the economy situation gave her a tough time to support her own son. So, I have to stand up by my own. But, how? I'm working at one Michelin starred restaurant but earning is not even enough for tuition or anything. I knew i am not happy with money situation. Somehow, I want to be happy in any circumstance, happy with working and studying. My pocket is always light as feather, my dream isn't. I have my dream. Not only I want to be a greatest chef, but I also want to be something different. That is my idea of my kitchen. In order to do that, I have to get threw this situation no matter what, beside anything stupid and illegal. Figuring out how live this life will not be easy but that is what I face on.
