A year ago, I competed at the Prostart Nationals Culinary Competition in Baltimore, Maryland. Before the competition, I was talking with my mother. She said to me "Jared, we are all so proud of you getting here, and we'll be proud of you no matter what happens today. So, go out there and do your best. We love you." It was a short pep talk but it was what I needed. During the competition, I was completely at ease and didn't even know time was going by. It felt care free, just like a fun day of messing around in the kitchen with friends. And we placed second in the the nation. Thank you Mom.
