This whole year overall was really great. Having a chance to have all these internships had made me gain more experience. I am grateful to have that these great opportunities that helped me with my career. I know that I am ready to go on with my career after I graduate high school. I got to try out going to college and I thought it wasn't the right path for me and so I stuck with doing internships at fantastic places. Being in the Pathways program really helped me achieve my dreams and goals. I am happy that I chose to be in this program for my senior year. Pathways is a beneficial program and I suggest anyone who would like to explore about careers and what they want to do in life to be here at Pathways. I feel as if we get a head start on what we would like to achieve in life being here.

Thirteenth Week Spring Pathways
May 23, 2014 -
My internship is almost ending at Smash Burger and throughout the time being there, I have learned a lot and I think that it was a good experience. Being an intern there, made me realize I do have good customer service skills. At the Tiburon Peninsula Club, I have been doing the same duties and just yesterday I got to work in the kitchen as a prep cook. It made me very happy that I got to be in the kitchen because I got to refresh my knife skills and it made me feel like I was at culinary school all over again, but I really enjoy that feeling. Yesterday I just found out that I got hired at the Sausalito Yacht Club as an AM prep cook. It makes me happy that I have all of this experience doing all of these internships and it will definitely help me with my career.

Twelfth Week Spring Pathways
May 16, 2014 -
This week I learned how to improve on my sense of urgency at the Tiburon Peninsula Club. There was this one point where there were a lot of orders and I felt like I had done a great job! I feel like I'm starting to get used to the feel of moving at a fast pace. This prepares me to have a sense of how it feels like to be at a restaurant where everything is fast paced. Every time the tickets come through, I am immediately prepared to do what it takes to get the food to the person on time. Either tomorrow or Sunday, I am going to start training in the heart of the house and the sound of that makes me thrilled because that's where I want to be! My friend, Danielle who was a graduate at my culinary school also interns with me at the Tiburon Peninsula Club and I asked her how does it feel to be in the back of the house and she tells me that it feels like Jackson Café in San Rafael. While I was at Fresh Starts Culinary Academy, during the last 6 weeks there, I was starting to get a feel how restaurants work because in Jackson Café, all of students got a feel how restaurants work and time is very important.

Eleventh Week Spring Pathways
May 9, 2014 -
Today is the day at my internship where I actually get to start working at the heart of the house! I am ready and prepared to be in the kitchen. As working as a front of the house person, I watched and saw how the kitchen was doing and to me, it seemed like it was like Jackson Café where I used to intern with Fresh Starts Culinary Academy. I always thought to myself, "I can't wait until I get to be there and start cooking!" We'll see how today goes, I'm ready!

Today is the second day where I start my internship at the Tiburon Peninsula Club. My first day went well and I feel as if I'm doing a great job. Most of the duties I am assigned to, I have pre-knowledge of because I have done front of the house work at Fresh Starts Catering and also at Smash Burger. There are some new things I am learning, but I am getting the hang of it. Next week, I get to start working in the kitchen. I am very excited to be placed there because that's where I really want to be.

Ninth Week Spring Pathways
April 25, 2014 -
Two weeks ago, I started my paid internship at Smash Burger and my position is a cashier and so my job duties are to make milkshakes, serve and bus tables, and take orders. Sometimes I clean tables and clean around the restaurant. I have never used a cash register before until I went to Smash Burger. They taught me about working in the front of the house and hopefully one day I will be able to work as a cook there.
I also got another paid internship at the Tiburon Peninsula Club and my position is a prep/line cook and a server/busser. I'm so happy because this is a perfect opportunity to learn as much as I can in order to follow my dreams. I get to start this Thursday coming up, I'm so excited!
