My passion is culinary arts.
I grew up with my mom cooking, and she has taught me to cook things as I've gotten older. My mom continues to teach me to cook foods that I wasn't able to cook when I was younger, such as poultry. I love to watch shows on Food Network; watching those chefs cook gets me excited and makes me even more interested in cooking. I hear all the time: one thing a woman is interested in is a man who can cook.
Attending Culinary Cooking Camp for Teens will help me develop my passion by allowing me to work with other people who share a passion for cooking. If I am able to attend this program, I will bring enthusiasm and leadership skills to the kitchen. I will also help my peers if they need help.
"Yusef has displayed motivation by always taking a lead in helping those around him. I can distinctly remember Yusef seeking leadership opportunities within our school community, including applying for the Dean of Students assistant position. He has consistently participated in voluntary activities that have set him apart from his peers.
Attending the Culinary Cooking Camp for Teens will help Yusef come out of his shell and gain confidence. Yusef is a good candidate for this program because he is the type of student to take everything in and apply what he learns to the real world."
Best of luck pursuing your passion, Yusef. I have so much respect for people like yourself who are willing to fight for what's most important to them.
Yusef, all the best to you as you pursue your dream. You are already a success for following your passion, and I know that you will do great things.
Please teach me how to cook when you're done!
I have a passion for cooking, and I think that you should always pursue your dreams.
To have your teachers so passionately support your education outside of school as well as in, is something special! Hope the experience is everything you want and more!
Well wishes from Phoenix, AZ. I hope to one day try some of your cooking, the best I can do is bunny pancakes!!
Good luck, kiddo!
Out of love for Ms. Reaves. Wishing you all the best from Virgina, Yusef!

Good luck dude!
I appreciate your passion for cooking; it's something I like to do a lot myself. I also like that you are someone who is a leader and pitches in as a volunteer.
I know it isn't much, but I also know every little bit helps. I do not ordinarily give to something I found online, but I have been poor before (as in, when will I eat again?), and while I don't have much now, compared to many ($27000 annually for 2 people), it is more than I have ever made and I want to be able to share as I can. I hope it helps, and I want to thank you (and your mother for raising) such an outstanding young man.
Good luck and always continue to follow your dream
Good luck with this endeavor! I wish you the best and can't wait to eat at one of your restaurants in the future!
Shhhhh!
