Hardships, communication, and balance in the kitchen
Great food and serving others make cooking such a valuable skill, and multi-tasking is a must. Anyone who thinks it is easy you watch too much Masterchef and are in love with the art, not the process; there is a massive difference between the realities of tv and real life in a commercial kitchen.

Cooking and the cost of art
It's early Monday morning, birds are chirping, and the fog is in the air as I make my way to the restaurant to start my first shift in a commercial kitchen. I wait in the car park nervously before entering fresh out of high school; the idea of working is an intimidating experience. I walk into the pub. The smell of beer lingers in the air as if it is a permanent part of the air. I walk to the kitchen and introduce myself to the chefs, hoping that they won't be too scary or mean.

What are soft skills?
Personal characteristics that enhance interactions, performance, and success are soft skills. These behaviors are less concrete and difficult to observe and evaluate. Soft skills are needed for any job title you may have whether it be retail, food services, or in this case in health care. These soft skills utilize various behaviors to interact and socialize with others. Some examples of these skills include attitudes, optimism, people skills, work ethic, reliability, kindness, empathy, and many others. If soft skills are so essential, then why is it that “93% of students entering the work force do not have soft skills adequately developed for their role.” (NHA) To answer this question we look at the shifts in focus on education. Unfortunately face to face interaction has declined with the age of millennial's and the Gen Z population, making personal interactions much less likely today. Due to the quick growth of social media and the internet, people are spending more time active online rather than spending that time in person with someone. If you lack the experience it can be hard to teach and learn these soft skills.
