Food perhaps is the foremost of necessities to sustain life, but good food is the soul of life. Right from savages, man has constantly endeavored to make food more & more palatable, interesting and health friendly. The presentation, taste and novel ways of service form an integral part of hospitality world, which may vary in time but preserve the warmth of yester years.
The ability to imagine & conceive is one of the most endearing characteristics of being human. Desiring a better world, a better community and a better self gives me a sense of resolute but creating better food, offering dedicated service and bringing a grateful smile for the society gives me a purpose in life. It is with this yearning that I seek to embark on a carrier in

I always appreciated the food and the creator. Gradually, I realized that the taste of being appreciated & thanked by someone for making them smile after serving good food & care is much more satisfying. I realized this smile was very familiar which I always saw on the faces of my mom and grandmother after serving us with delicious food during my childhood. This was the start of my interest in culinary arts. I was a keen learner in our home kitchen as well as where ever we visited. I watched each and every chef, trained or untrained during my family visits to various eateries as a youngster. The exposure was unlimited due to our frequent sojourns abroad to world class facilities with my father who happened to be a medical doctor with an international airline. The seeds of this initial interest took shape when I joined institute of hotel management and catering technology. That was the beginning but I never knew that it will take the shape of my passion for life. Now I wish to spend my life creating a super place for people to escape and to feel special. I had never thought about the fascination and the opportunities which this industry offers until
This essay aims to explore the characteristics that make a good quality social work assessment in child care. Martin (2010) stated that there was “no single agreed definition of social work assessment.” Coulshed and Orme (2006, p24) did not offer a formal definition but they described assessment as “…a basis for planning what needs to be done to maintain, improve or bring about change in the person, the environment or both.” According to the Maclean and Harrison (2015) good assessments must be “purposeful and timely.” This is because practitioners need to be clear about why they are carrying out assessments and what it is they wish to achieve at the end of that assessment.
I am the product of divorced parents, poverty stricken environments, and a blended family, but I refuse to let that dictate the outcome of my life. At the age of ten, I had to assume the role of a fatherly figure to my three siblings, so I missed out on the typical childhood most would have had. I grew up in neighborhoods where gangs and criminal acts of violence were a pervasive occurrence, but I resiliently did not allow the peer pressures of others to force me to conform to their way of life. By the age of 15, I received my worker 's permit, and that allowed me the ability to help my mother financially in the absence of my father’s income. I worked the maximum amount of hours I could while balancing my academics and extracurricular school activities. I was a scholar athlete and triathlete in high school, and although I continuously faced much adversity, I still managed to be accepted to the University of California State, Bakersfield after I graduated from high school in 2005. Sadly, after
The human services model is basically simple compared to others types of models that are more complexed. It focuses on the “here and now” problems that needs to be resolved with an immediate solution. It doesn’t focus on past problems because nothing can be done to change what has already occurred. It perceived that the causes of the disorders might be due to unfilled human needs that needs to be rectified, such as the person’s environment or society. If the needs are not met, then the person would not be able to function on his or her optimal level. They would aid the person by connecting them to the right sources that would bring satisfaction to the unmet needs. Human services model’s goals are usually short term because it concentrates on

The clear understanding of both the role of the Human Services Worker and the role of the client in treatment.
As a human service professional my own philosophy of life, your personal values, and your vision for the future of the world, and your values in relationships will inevitably impact on the decisions I make, and how I will react when they are questioned by clients, other professionals or conflict with the policies, procedures and laws I will work under. The important role ethics holds in providing a guideline for best practice and ethical decision making, in protecting both the counsellor and the client, and providing professional legitimacy (O’Connor, Wilson, and Setterlund, 2003, p.224). I will explore my personal values, and how congruent they are with the core values of social work and human services. By doing this regularly as a human services professional, I am better equipped at dealing with clashes between my values and the values of clients, other professionals and agencies, and managing the challenge of not imposing my personal values on others and when advocating for social justice.
I have known that I wanted to go into the field of Social Work since my first year of undergraduate studies at SUNY at Fredonia. I entered SUNY at Fredonia as a major in secondary education, with a concentration in English. It was during my first semester of my freshman year that I had taken an introductory course in psychology. I realized then that I wanted to work with people, but not in the capacity as a secondary education teacher, but in a career in mental health. My professor spoke with such enthusiasm about the subject of psychology and psychopathology and soon, I found myself intrigued with these subjects. I wanted to help individuals who needed the help, especially knowing the stigma mentally illness exists in society.
Social workers are viewed by the world to be “fixers” in society. The general public sees social workers as just “people who work in child protective services”, they do not know about the other things that social workers are also involved in. I interviewed, Stuart Brewster, a therapist for children and families, he graduated from the university of Washington with a masters degree in social work.
I had to make a very big decision on what major I should choose to study for in college. Initially, I was interested in the Human Service profession. I knew I wanted to be in some sort of service industry. I really wanted to help those who need help from the government or from the city in order to better their lives. One career I was interested in which is considered in the Human Service profession is as a foster child case worker. I always wanted to work for Catholic Charities of NY as a foster child case worker. I thought it would be nice to start a career with them.
Having spent the last two years working as a volunteer in the social service field, I have come to realize that my passion lies in helping people, who are in a position of less advantaged. With a view to accomplish my ambition to become a social worker I am currently taking an access to a master degree of social work.
There are many reasons why I would love to become a social worker. However, it is sort of difficult to pinch point how or why I became attracted to this specific profession. Nevertheless, most of the particles in my body argue that it would have to stem back to experiences I have encountered growing up. I would like to begin by saying that graduating high school I was unsure where I was going or where I would end up. My mother who always had high expectations for me persuaded me to at least attempt pursing a college education. I then decided to enroll Guttman Community College @ CUNY, where I was appointed a Student Success Advocate (S.S.A). My S.S.A saw something in me that I had yet to figure out. He pushed me to want more for myself both in my academic and personal life. Every time I was ready to give up he was there to remind me that I was capable of succeeding.
Have you ever tried to cook a delicious meal to impress your friends or family members? Most Americans cook despite the challenge associated with it. It takes courage and bravery to be a chef. An individual must have a passion for cooking and preparing meals from recipes. An experienced chef must have a lot of creativity on the plate and knowledge on the field. However, being a professional chef comes with many obstacles such as, standing in the kitchen for long hours can cause health problems, or the amount of stress a chef deals with can be overwhelmed, and the unhealthy eating habits that leads to overweight and over-eating.
A culinary chef has many skills and responsibilities that are not only necessary and useful, but also required to succeed. According to the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Chefs and head cooks oversee the daily food preparation at restaurants and other places where food is served. They direct kitchen staff and handle any food-related concerns.” (“Chefs and Head Cook”) I have three main reasons for choosing the culinary field. The first is I have a lot of experience with and around kitchens and I know I really enjoy the atmosphere of a kitchen. Secondly, I am talented in cooking and I have succeeded in the programs I have already been a part of for culinary. The final reason for choosing Culinary Arts is that
It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be a chef. However, if one has a passion for cooking it will pay off. I am a creative person and cooking has endless possibilities of creativity, such as the way you make it and the way you plate it. I want to become a chef and hopefully open a restaurant one day. To do that, you need to learn the basic skills. Julia Child once said, “No one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.”
Becoming a professional chef not only requires a thorough understanding in food preparation, but many other important points as well. Auguste Escoffier, the originator of modern foodservice wrote; "No theories, no formulae, no recipe, no matter how well written, can take the place of experience."
