maintaining their grade point average and not giving up hope. many of them i see it that they use what they re in their environment to help them, to give them the motivation to go on, because they know that this is not what they want, but they know there is something else. that s also getting them some money. in some cases these competitions are getting money to go on to school or scholarships to carry on with their education. oh, my, yes, yes, yes. my students, through careers through the culinary arts program, they are receiving very large scholarships to johnson & wells, the culinary institute of america, international schools, new england culinary institute, they re doing very well. because otherwise these students have nothing. that s incredible. what a great story. you re helping them and you re helping them to enjoy food and enjoy making food for other people. wilma stephenson thank you for
