Have you ever been woken up by the smell of cookies? Imagine how wonderful it feels when you are greeted “good morning” by the smell of warmth and happiness coming from freshly baked cookies. For me, it was one of the most meaningful things I've ever experienced: I was born into a family that ran a bakery at home. The bakery is called “Sun Flower” and is fifteen years older than me. For me it is very interesting to share with other people that I grew up in the baking community, which taught me how to bake, taught me the value of work and the spirit of work and brought my family closer. Being a member of the family and a part of the bakery, I learned a lot, especially in baking. My baking skills are not as good as Cake Boss's, but they are enough for me to bake something myself and share it with friends. Back then, when I was a little girl with two braids, I couldn't really do anything other than help my mom or aunt while cooking or sing and tell jokes to help relieve stress of the work environment. Even though I didn't do much, I still had the opportunity to learn many secret skills and steps to produce baked goods that satisfied even the most demanding customers. My skills have improved over time. I started helping to measure the ingredients; The job may seem easy, but it is indeed important and crucial to the baking process of baked goods. It is not enough to put this or that ingredient on the scale, the measurements must be extremely precise otherwise the product would become unqualified. I still remember the first time I measured the ingredients. I tried to make every measurement perfect; but after an hour of measuring... middle of paper... the community really transformed me into the person I am today – responsible, hardworking and always positive. Those days when I lived and worked in the Sun Flower bakery community, I learned to bake and understood the value and spirit of work. My family members also grew closer to each other as we gathered and worked together in the kitchen. I was grateful to be born and raised in the baking community. It gave me a passion for baking and the opportunity to know the value of work when customers enjoy the cookies I make. What matters to me is not whether our Sun Bakery will stay in business forever; what really matters to me now is that the spirit of community will never fade, it will be passed on to our next generations as well as the communities outside – the customers who support us and enjoy our sweetness..
