Jacquiana's Story

My passion is bringing people together.

As long as I can remember, I've been committed to the idea of community. Part of what I like about the arts, including culinary arts, is the possibility for bringing others together. I have been an avid home cook since I was six years old; the first dish I made on my own was scrambled eggs. As a ninth grader, I am occasionally responsible for cooking for my family. I take this responsibility seriously. I would like an opportunity to attend classes at the ICC so that I can learn techniques and skills.

I think that by being part of a community of learners, I bring my enthusiasm and strengths to the course work. Additionally, I will share whatever I learn with my family and my school community.

I recently have learned that there might be a student-run cafe at WHEELS next year. I would love the chance to be a part of planning exciting, healthy, delicious snacks. I would bring whatever I learn from the ICC into my school community, at WHEELS.
