I have learned a lot, not only about Japanese cuisine and sushi, but also about teamwork and my place in life. I gained a deep appreciation for the people working in restaurants and their dedication to the mastery of the art of sushi making and their burning passion. The class was engaging and interactive. It promotes autonomy and creativity. It is something I’ve never experienced before, because I’ve always sat in a classroom only listening to lectures. I’m graduating from SCI with a sense of pride in my newly acquired skills and hope that makes me expect more out of life than I could ever imagine. I’m grateful for this exciting and inspiring experience.
