He kept checking his phone but I wasn’t really sure why…

As long as I've known her, my sister Cheryl has been terrified of bees. This summer I pushed her to face her bee fear...

I think what I gained most of of cooking classes, aside from better knife skills, is to exercise better patience when it comes to people that work under you. Encouragement is a powerful tool and direct critique can encourage growth and light a fire to do better.
