--Ever since I was little
 I loved to cook and I love to eat
so why not go to school
 and learn to cook and eat
 for yourself.
--The ProStart Culinary Team
 is a team that consists of
 four to five people
and you compete on a state level
 and if you win state you go
 up to nationals.
It's really difficult,
 you can win tons of scholarships
 so it's a really big deal.
You only get like two burners
 to work on and you have
 no electrical equipment
so it's, like it's challenging
 and you have to know
 what you're doing so.
I've had a lot of fun.
I've learned a lot more than I
 ever thought I ever would learn
and I actually found out
 that like this is what I want to
 do and this is what I love so.
