This Friday some of my classmates and I took a visit to Port Richmond High School as part of our experiential learning mentor project. I sat in on my students cooking class and was totally amazed. We watched the final preparations of Chinese chicken fried rice. Mixing the chicken with the rice and the veggies, the students handled the assignment with ease. I was completely awed by how easily cooking was for them. As someone who is not very often found in the kitchen, I was taken back that even though they are younger than me, they were much more experienced in cooking. I went to the high school thinking I was going to be a mentor, be in fact I learned a lot from the students as well.
I was also glad to have gone on Friday, since it was the day that the meals that were prepared all week were tasted. The high school students gave the Wagner students samples of their chicken fried rice and it was very good! I had a great time at Port Richmond and look forward to going back again.
