There are so many practical skills I have learned after my school days. But I would like to talk about cooking here. Cooking, at this moment, was the biggest task to learn until I became good at making meals because, in my case, my mom was the chef. From my childhood, my siblings and I thought that we didn't have to cook because my mom was there to make delicious meals for us. She would do that. In my personal opinion, I didn't want to ruin her recipes by cooking myself. So I didn't learn to cook until I moved out of the house for work in another city. After I left home, I struggled to get food for my everyday meals. I thought I had to learn to cook for myself. When I got food from outside, it was so oily and not suitable for my palate. I learned from my mom, and at that time, I realized the importance of cooking for everyone. Cooking is not just about making food; it's about taking care of yourself and enjoying what you eat. Now, I appreciate the skill of cooking and the effort it takes to prepare a good meal.
