What defines the trajectory of someone’s life is not the moment you receive the diploma. It’s the character you build while dealing with deflated soufflés, burnt cookies, falling tarts, and waiting for feedback from some of the most respected professionals in the industry. It’s waking up early when you’re not a morning person. It’s powering through the doubt and uncertainty. It’s the knowledge that after the degree, you’re probably going to rinse and repeat the entire process a couple of more times in the future. It’s the commitment and passion you keep in your back pocket while you build an airtight plan to protect what you love at all costs. You know it’s all worth it because you do everything with love. That’s what I learned from this girl! Mama is so proud of you!
