[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 598288, member: 2196"] Suzir you didn't offend me at all. I seriously had to re read what you wrote just to make sure there was nothing offending in your post. So I'm confused. Anyway, no offense taken. To answer your question, difficult child wants to be a pastry chef. Cooking is her passion. I know that most likely culinary school will be out of the question. Last semester she took a cooking class at her old school and failed it due to her reading/writing difficulties. She would need some major help to get through school to learn to become a chef. But they do offer community college courses where she can get extra support. She would probably need a tutor, that's for sure. She can cook great but it's the terminology that she has trouble with. I am confident she could find a job in a bakery or something similar and do really well. I just have to keep reminding her that she needs a high school diploma in order to be hired anywhere. She has been pretty dead set on being in the cooking industry for several years now and I don't think it is going to change any time soon. Regardless of what she chooses I am prepared to support her all the way through it whatever way I can. She hears nothing but negative from so many different sources so it is my mission to build up her self esteem. I believe in her but she just needs to learn to believe in herself. [/QUOTE]
