 Hi, I'm Anthony Vellada and I'm the March student of the month for PCTI. I really like culinary arts because over the last three and a half years I've been able to dive into the world of culinary arts and I do what I love which is serving in the school restaurant and I'm always with my friends working and collaborating as a team. So over the last school year I was able to participate in the pro-start management team and what that is it's a competition team where we have a restaurant concept which we came up with ourselves and then we presented that to a panel of judges and I'm also a server at Shea Technique in the school restaurant. So after high school I plan to pursue a degree in business administration. I want to get my masters and I came to that decision because after working with the pro-start management team it made me realize that I wanted to own my own business one day. So I was actually really surprised when I was named student of the month. I didn't expect it even though I knew I was nominated and I'm just really grateful. So a fun fact about me is that even though I spent two years in the bake shop at school I actually prefer culinary arts more so I prefer cooking instead of baking. So there are a couple people I'd like to thank for this. I'd like to thank my instructor in my shop Matt Venaria. I'd like to thank my gym teacher Mrs. Yeong and my guidance counselor Mr. Watley for nominating me.
