Airasia : the Sky's the Limit

What Steps Do you need to Achieve to Realize Your Career Goal?
How can this course help you to achieve it?
Growing up I have always wanted to become an Attorney-At-Law, well time and things change, and I have been exposed to other career options. Becoming an Attorney-At-Law was not meant to be but still I had a burning desire and passion inside me to become a trained professional, so I thought I heard the kitchen calling, I could almost hear sounds of pots and pans cluttering, I could see spatula moving against thickly covered sides of bowls and a beautiful sight and sound it was. Cooking and baking I thought was my calling, my God given passion, I could feel it, even taste it. Whilst in high school, I chose Food and Nutrition as my area of specialisation at Clan Carthy High School, over a two period 2000 -2001.
My chances finally came when I was offered a job in the Culinary field at Jade Garden Restaurant then at Versair Inflight Service, however, that opportunity never lasted long, so after losing my job I went to Excelsior Community College. Losing my job did not kill my dream to become a Food and Beverage Manager or a Culinary Manager, better known as Executive Chef. In my quest to start the road to greatness I went to Excelsior Community College, where I grasp the second chance of gaining those subjects that I did not acquire in high school. I was successful in acquiring some of them, then went onto pursue Computer Studies, to this day I am yet to complete that course. I guess it was not meant to be because it was not my passion; it was not my calling and certainly not my love. I was advised by friends and a lecturer to go after my passion. I even got a scholarship in 2007, to attend Florida Culinary Institution in West Palm Beach in the United States of America, but due circumstances beyond my control that opportunity came and went like yesterday’s news.
In spite of that missed opportunity my dream to become the best chef in the world, still lives on. Currently I am working in the Ministry of Education in the School Feeding Programme Unit as a Records Officer for the pass five (5) years, but there is a hunger for my passion. And that passion is not in record keeping but rather in the kitchen, the sweet sounds of pots and pans still calls my name, how I long to hear the sound a hot grill hissing up meeting a cold hamburger….I can just see it, I can feel it I just only now wish I could touch it.
The steps I have taken to achieve and realize my career
Presently I am enrolled at Northern Caribbean University where I am reading for a Bachelors of Science Degree in Management Studies with emphasises on Human Resource Management. The task ahead is great, hard work is required, drive and passion is needed. There is very little room for talent, but that degree is only but a ladder to my dream, because upon completion I will be applying to Heart Trust NTA, where I will pursue a certificate in Culinary Arts. This move I strongly feel will enable me to be accepted in any of the world’s finest culinary school.
In addition to reading for the Bachelors of Science Degree I am presently doing a certificate course in Supervisory Management at Northern Caribbean University. This course will equip me with the necessary leadership skills that is needed for growth and success. The lessons learned I can be applied to real life, real life situations and in my personal and professional life. I am grateful for this course already I can see changes in my life, as it pertains to how I operate, my whole decorum has changed, my tone in speaking to others has soften. My human relation skills have improved.
There are times when the work becomes burdensome and seems unbearable, I want to give up but when I hear the sounds of sweet music, of pots and pans emitting from my imagination I seems to find the drive to press on. The strength to go on unleashes. In this course Supervisory Management, I am being prepared for a promotion and this promotion comes with many difficult tasks, and will require, the right skills, mainly in the area of Human Relations. In having the requisite skills I will be guided how to handle specific situations when encountered.
I know I will complete my degree and this course in Supervisory Management by the help of God who is the head of my life in everything I do, even when I don’t believe in me this man name Jesus believes in me and that I can accomplish my dream.
