I Want to Become a Cook Я хочу стать поваром
There are many professions in the world, and each of them, certainly has its advantages. Every person decides, what career to choose, depending on what kind of work is more to his liking and what he is best able to do.
I believe that my vocation in life is to become a cook. The penchant for this profession emerged in me from my childhood. My mom always cooked perfectly, and I liked to spend time with her in the kitchen. Having noticed my interest, my mother tried to stimulate it in every way. As a result, already at the age of eight, I knew how to cook beetroot soup or salad, to braise or even to bake a charlotte. Now I adore reading various culinary magazines and books, as well as watch relevant programs and talk shows on TV. If I come across any interesting recipes, I note them to further cook with my mother`s help delicious meals using noted ingredients and surprise housemates.
The men of our family (dad and my elder brother) like to eat, and they are always satisfied with my mother`s and my culinary experiments. To each holiday, we also always try to cook something special to please our guests. Now I can hardly imagine my life without cooking. Often, even in my dreams I can see how I cook in the kitchen an unusual new dish. That is why I think that cook’s profession is created especially for me.
I understand that to successfully master this profession and become a real professional, I should study for a long time, but I’m ready and even looking forward to it. Who knows, maybe in the future I will be able to become a popular chef, unlock my creativity and even open my own restaurant!
