Baking One: Culinary Chronicles Capers Canards

Working a Friday night football game at Newtown High School’s snack shack is really unique. I think that it’s really unique because you’re making food for hundreds and hundreds of people who are there to enjoy their Friday night. In the beginning I was just hoping that the time would fly by, and I could go home and get ready to go out with my friends which was in the back of my head the whole time but I learned something really important that night. I learned that, being part of the snack shack is like a working family because after 10 minutes I just know where everybody is and I yell in the direction of that person and continue my job. I didn’t actually realize that things can be done so easily when you have chemistry like that with other kids in a classroom. In fact, I don’t think you can do anything like this in any other class in the school. It makes me feel like I am on a soccer team, everybody is just working together and nothing works if one person isn’t doing their job. It was truly an experience that I’ll never forget, I don’t know if being a part of the snack shack on football games is my thing but I will definitely give it another try and I won’t forget it as long as I live. –Gent
