My name is Jorge Antonio Figueroa. The first three things to describe myself would be outgoing,driven & has a habit of putting smiles on faces. I am a Junior at Skyline High School and I am in the Culinary Arts Cluster. I am 16 years old and I have lived in Dallas TX, my whole life. After high school I plan to go to a college in either San Antonio Or California To Study The Culinary Arts and then go to two years of business school to get my business degree so that one day I'll be able to get a restaurant of my own. The reason I decided to join this cluster is because of my passion for cooking. The feeling you get after you make something and see everyone enjoying it, the creativity you get to express within your dishes, the endless possibilities, all these are the things that make cooking worth wild for me. That's what my passion for cooking is.

ReplyDeleteJorge, you sound very driven. Best advice I can give you is stay focused and that owning a restaurant and cooking in a restaurant are very different. Most successfull owners learn to take themselves out of the kitchen and manage. Your focus reminds me of my favorite thing to cook, Slow smoked Brisket. Its very time comsuming and there are many different rubs. You should give it a try
SFC Neill, Michael David,
ReplyDeleteI just want to start my thanking you on behalf of the Culinary Arts Cluster for taking time off your schedule and coming to visit us. It really means a lot that someone with a passion like yours cares about the arts and thank you for the advice you wrote above I really appreciate it, and I would love to try that slow smoked brisket recipe sounds really good. On the last note, I would also like to thank you for everything you have done and are doing for our country.

Jorge, I really had so much fun, and I hope that I can get some more time off and get into the classroom again. Tell me more about the smokers the school has and maybe we can really get busy cooking up a storm. And just to let you know God came into my life and told me to serve others as much as possible. Maybe that is why I am in the Army. I always enjoy the work I do with others. You should try it one day
