Finding myself at 30, at least that is what I’ll call it. In a few weeks, I‘ll be hitting the big 3-0. *sigh. The thought alone is making me depressed and unhappy. I have what many would call a great life; wonderful husband, two beautiful kids and a great job. You see here lies the problem, I have all this but I was not fulfilled, I felt I had not really achieved my goals. Life is funny isn’t it and it just takes a dramatic turn when we least expect it to.
I saw my path when my husband asked me to organise
a small dinner party to host his friends. My husband knows I love to cook. My
passion for cooking began early. As little as 9, I was inquisitive to learn how
to make gourmet dishes from my grandmother.She was quite the cook and she was
so creative with food. It was when I
catered for my own wedding that I realized that my true professional desire was
to become a chef.
The journey to finding
myself did not start right away though, Ihad about 10 years of boring 8-4 in
the banking industry. Trust me, I grew up the career ladder remarkably but I
wasn’t fulfilled. Anyway back to the dinner party I catered to, don’t mind me I
seem to digress sometimes.My husband & his friends encouraged me to go
fully into what I love which is cooking. One of his friends encouraged me to
get professional training. I did my research and found out about the Swiss
Education Group. They offerundergraduate and post graduate
programs in hospitality and tourism, international hospitality management,
business administration, culinary arts and management, hospitality and design
management, events management and many more.
I had internship
opportunities that afforded me experience in top notch hospitality
organisations.
Today, I have my own
business, call the shots and I am much happier & fulfilled. Even the kids say I am a less grumpy mummy.
Oh, my name is Bimpe and I have found myself.

What a way to advertise, a very lovely one.
Sounds more like an advert, can't seem to grasp the theme and moral of the story.

But you forgot to mention how much it cost to study there...If your father is not a millionaire and you never worked like Bimpe...there are other schools for you that cost less..
I love the Swiss hospitality sch, you get what you pay for but I don't have millions.
Eku finding!
