One of the things many of you may or may not know about me is that my entire university education has been acquired while working full time. When I was allotted TV time, I didn’t use it to watch the standard children’s shows. In Grade 12 I received a scholarship for the college that offered this program.

Talk to any alumni you may know (hint parents, cousins, that kid that went off to college last year) to see what they know about it.

He didn’t have his first job until the summer between high school graduation and college. I had reasonably good grades and planned to go to college after graduating. Activities. I wasn’t part of that many activities in high school. Time is a factor in high school, because teenagers will be in school all day.

Mise en place for a recipe Even in college, when I was living in a dorm, and had a dining hall meal plan that meant I could get whatever I wanted whenever I wanted it, I still cooked and baked. My kids are able to bike to school and activities – my son even bikes to the airport where he takes flight lessons.
