So here I am 7 a.m. preparing all the food that we are to sell at our Education Student Organization booth later this afternoon. I had the one whole case of chicken thighs, deboned and cut into quarter pieces for the Karaage Chicken, with the carrots and cabbages chopped to a specific size for the Yakisoba and crab meat shredded, ready to mix for the Sushi Bake. At 9 a.m. I get a text from one of the club officers saying that the event will be canceled. I was disheartened, really more frustrated, not because I did the hard work of prepping, it was because all the students that donated and more so of the food that would be wasted. But lo and behold, I get a callback. I was excited because I could still prepare the dishes and sell at our EDUCATION STUDENT ORGANIZATION (ESO) mini food sale. So I hurried and cooked all the food and brought it all down to school in a record four hours which included the drive from DEDEDO to MANGILAO.
The officers greeted me at the selling site and there was already a line of hungry patrons.
I was happy even though some of the comments on the food wasn't nice, like the chicken was hard or the crab to rice ratio wasn't even or the noodles was missing a particular ingredient.
Overall, the majority said they enjoyed the food and were impressed with my cooking. I always try to remain positive in all aspects, and that's one of the traits that I must have when I become a future educator, is to always buckle down and drive on.
It won't be easy but it will be all worth it.
