working for Bourdain

If i worked for Bourdain i think it would be an adventure because with him everyday would be a new day. I would learn from him and when he is high out of his mind i would laugh.I would learn the way of the kitchen. I think that if i worked with him i would see food as something else.However i think me and Bourdain would bump heads a lot because i'm a free spirit  and i like to do my own thing and i feel like we would bump heads a lot.

They all had their own weird dialect and slang .Bobby the chef was one of the most memorable characters of them all, on one particular day a large wedding party came to the dreadnaught for a celebratory dinner following their reception.

Strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes

Well being a student writer is very difficult for me because it takes me time to come up with a good essay.So much thought has to be put into it and the grammar has to be perfect as if being human isn't hard enough .We all make mistakes and sometimes we miss the smallest mistakes like ,where a comma goes.I like that i can express my self  threw my writing and tell story's about my crazy child hood and things that have changed my life for the better or worse. My strengths are that I can think of a story on any topic given to me. My weaknesses , i don't elaborate enough and my punctuation is really off .I have alot of run on sentences ,i try to write everything while it is still fresh in my mind but instead i end up writing sentences that have no end and that dont make any since.
