Fifth Week Winter Quarter

My scholarship application is on the way through the system. I presented myself in such a glowing light, I don't recognize myself. After reading my application, my career counsellor said she thinks I have a good chance. On the parts that George was required to fill out, he gave me many positive comments. Of course it would be an honor for him if one of his students won the WAVE,
(Washington Award for Vocational Excellence). The awards are announced on April 9th and are a "full ride" for two years.
My first time in the snack bar is a learning experience. This area fixes breakfasts on the grill, where I try my hand at omlettes, link sausages, french toast and pancakes. I make pizza dough, let it rise and put together both vegetarian and meat pizzas to sell for lunch. Others make burgers, fries, fried cheese sticks, deep fried onion rings and tater tots. All this high fat food disappears off the shelves, consumed by hungry college students.
I have noticed the absence of several of the students who started the second quarter with me. Many of them change their mind and decide this is not the career they want after all. One of my friends has finished his management requirements and will be interning in a Portland restaurant for the last six weeks of the quarter.
