Normally, I do not like cooking because it is a difficult thing to do. To stand in front of a heated stove is something I cannot bear. However, my perception changed when I had to live in a hostel for my studies. Because I would be living outside of home, it was important for me to learn to cook. I learned to cook plain bread and eggs to make sure that I can have a proper, healthy breakfast while living in a hostel.
Firstly, I learned to cook this from YouTube. The first day when I tried making the bread and eggs, I almost burned the stove due to carelessness. The instructions given in the video on YouTube were not clear. They were skipping some major steps that were important for me as a beginner. Therefore, I decided to take the help of my mother and with her aid and guidance about each step of cooking those two things, I was successful in cooking it after 2 weeks of failed attempts.
I felt immense pleasure to finally achieve something that I had been trying for the last 2 weeks. Moreover, due to the fact that I never liked cooking and still managed to do it, was making me feel like I had overcome a huge fear of mine. I can confidently say now that I am a skilled cook and can make a delicious breakfast.
