A little story to begin...

Hey everone!! My name is Li Hua Xue, but my friends call me Meggy and I love it! My last name "Xue" is hard to pronounce, so my friends give me a nickname of "soup", haha! I'm currently a first year student at George Brown College for Culinary Management-Nutrition Program (H119). Since elementary school, I've been thinking about my future career. To be honest, my first dream was to be a kindergarten teacher or early childhood educator, because I love children, I think I will be forever happy and enjoy my job for the rest of my life. So I chose volunteering and studied courses that were related to children. It was all good until my last year of high school. I chose a co-op course that gave me an opportunity to actually work with children as ECE assistant.. I changed my mind and took one year off of school after graduating, because I truly realized that's not what I want to be. I felt pressure after all. I lost my goal and I began to work as part-time worker for many companies. I tried to make money for my school fees and tried to figure out what I really want to be at the same time. "what would you like to be?" This question was always in my mind and asked me everyday. Later on, I applied to the program Dental Assisting because I want to be in school, I kept asking myself again, that is all I want? Work for work? That's not what I want... I know inside of myself...I remember one of my high school teacher told me,"You need two things to be happy in life, one is to have someone you love and the other is a job you enjoy." I really do like my teacher, I saw her enjoy her job everyday with full energy. So I decided to stay at adult school to educate myself. I know I like education, food, sleep and exercise. YES!!! I finally got an answer from myself, I love food!!! I like to be healthy. Why don't I try out nutrition program? So I finished all my grade 12 universities courses and got ready for my future! I hope I can learn everything about food and nutrition, I just want to be healthy and happy. And same to people around me. There was two funerals that I wasn't able to attend this year and last year. Both of them were my close family members. I'm just too afraid to hear the death news. I want people to stay healthy. Also I know there's many ways to keep healthy, but food and nutrition are something that we enjoy and need to have in every daily life. I hope I can learn and get educated, so I can influence people in many ways. Last but not least! I like to cook too! Haha. I enjoy to cook for my friends and families. My cooking skill is not bad but not super good too. So I hope to be better in cook and looking forward to my future goal. Thank you everyone for taking time to look at my first blog ever!
