To the Editor,

At this point in my school life I am considering becoming a chef.

According to the National Careers Service website, there are some skills I will need to have to become a chef. One of those skills is to “...be able to do several tasks at once.”

I have this skill because I can help my little brother with his homework, do my own homework and still help my mom cook dinner.

My mom supports me with my decision, but at the same time, she is really skeptical. One of her concerns about me becoming a chef is will I “be able to be creative enough while creating a dish.” Another concern is whether I will “be able to be competitive enough and able to work under pressure.”

When I’m older, I would like to be a chef because it inspires me to be creative through food.
