Testimony time

First of all S/o to God
This God been doing the most for me and my people

Early last year I decided on something without telling my people especially my mom Cos that woman wants to know everything
Well a lot had happened mid 2018 through to 2019 which is for another day but Yh times were crazy
I just woke up one day and said I’d go to culinary school

I mean this is something I always wanted to do uno when we ask kids what they wanted to do when they grow up ? Yh mine was “a caterer “ lol I didn’t even know what that was but as I grew , that changed a couple of times
So I’m like well I wanted this and it should be fun

At that time I didn’t have anything doing so I said Yh lemme pick this challenge I like challenges well not anymore now life hard but I went paid my fees , got everything before I even told my people, my mom but she was busily looking for a job for me as usual

And she’d kill me if I told her I wanted to go to school for a while instead of working again
But Yh I told her after and now she can’t say no Cos lmao I paid already
I said and it was insane , proper madness ask anyone in culinary school or has been to one

I almost gave up so many times Cos like I didn’t really need this , I needed a job I Dey grow I had bills to pay , school? By this time that there’s no money coming out and oh lol it dey cost pass , you’d spend between 150-300gh on practicals sometimes and we did that

That like twice a month or so but God , BUT GOD !! Always came through
The tough period was when I finally got a job , uno while I was still in school, I was applying for jobs so I actually got a couple of time along the line but didn’t take any of them seriously

And if you know me , you know I’m always doing two or more jobs at a time Cos no money is enough money for me
, but this new job I got was a really good one in one of the biggest event firms in Ghana and I love events That’s all I did in uni and while working at bloom ..

Bloom interactive not bloom bar I beg
I could any party , event and it will hit
And I got pretty happy when I did events and people seem to enjoy themselves
I was so resourceful all my bosses said that , I could get you anything and anyone see I could get you human head if

You wanted one lmao jk jk but Yh I could get you anything for some reason I knew someone who does everything you want so Yh I was good with events so getting a job to handle events and all was huge and good for me if that’s what I really wanted

But I had started school, paid through and done a couple of practicals so I said no to the job bruh low key to still regret this Cos this was with one of the elites , connected ,networked person in Ghana rn

And still went on with the school lol I almost stopped and again I didn’t tell anyone about the job especially my mom Cos yh she kept asking me about it and I kept telling her I didn’t hear from them again fast forward school was almost done and part of what I needed to do

Was do an internship/ attachment at one of these big hotels in Ghana lmaoooooo and boyyyyyyyy these guys tested my patience and heart look I could get in before 7am for morning shift but still leave after 6-7pm how’s that morning shift ? And the pay ?couldn’t even pay my .

My transportation and that was even ok Cos I needed the experience the problem was how they treated you in there ( in the kitchen) boy if I remember then I’m sad all over again , lemme tell you how they treated me after they got to know I had a degree ..

And worked in many offices and that this was just part time or something I wanted to do for fun or waste time , it was like now they had to punish me , I couldn’t even go for a 30 minutes break without my supervisor and people looking for me to shout on me

One time I actually cried Cos I couldn’t , the screaming , the insults , the shouting on you lmao Nbe and when I slacked and spoke English I’m dying boy and the department I had ( the larder ) where we make salads and cold dishes was just full of old women

So imagine, I was always the first to go to clean up before everything and last to leave for morning shift ( the kitchen )
Eventually I left bruh I couldn’t , I was always so tired or sick some how Cos you’d stand through out your shift and they will insult all day

So my mind is tired and I’m sick , one day I just decided not to go back I told my school and head chef why , and told them if I wasn’t going to graduate because I didn’t finish my internship, then I’m good so I stayed home after

But for some miraculous reason I was told I’d still graduate and I was one of my best students in that year group , won’t God do it
This was a really tough time , now I know even though this is just the beginning, God has done and doing more than I expect from

I expected from this experience, now I have another certificate and one childhood dream done and your girl is now a Certified Chef and this is just the beginning
I’m going to go to all the top Chef schools in the world even if it’s for just the fun of it

I am a chef
I’m going to do big things and oh this is not even what I want to do proper
But I love the idea that I have this and I’m even going to learn more and do more with food , cooking and all them fancy stuff but for now you can enjoy my small small meals

Because when I become proper , you won’t be able to book me and tins
This is just the beginning, I can’t tell you how much and what God did for me during 2018-2020 but bruh just know God is way too good and faithful to fail
All His promises are Ye and Amen

And I’m going to be the Auntie bringing all the foods to the family gatherings and friend gatherings and I love that my friends come to ask me about all their food issues, for tips , for recipes , all of that
I love love it

I’m a chef uno
But don’t call me chef tho I beg
