Hello! It’s Mallory, I wanted to give you a life update! I just graduated BOCES as student of the year and was able to give a speech at graduation! I was very honored and surprised by getting two other scholarships as well!
Update from Mallory:
Hello! It’s Mallory, here to give you another life update! I finished my first semester at the culinary institute of america! I am absolutely loving it there even though i haven’t started kitchen or baking classes yet. I am getting those academic classes out of the way and couldn’t be happier! I am part of a volunteer group called Busy Bees that donates food to different charities and hospitals so I’ve been in the kitchens for that! I am started a job on campus as a pastry assistant for catering events like banquets and weddings! I am very excited for that to get some extra experience before I start kitchen classes! I hope you are having a merry christmas and a happy new year if you celebrate! I will attach some pictures below!
