style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Soon Gi Hwang grew up in South Korea and arrived in California in 2013. He began as a psychology student at DVC. He transferred to UC Berkeley and obtained his bachelor\u2019s degree, but then decided to return to a different, yet familiar path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cMy father is a successful pastry chef and a bar owner. My mother is a nutritionist. I felt I could no longer postpone pursuing my passion,\u201d said Hwang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Hwang returned to DVC to start his culinary career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cWhile at DVC before, I used to grab food from the morning and lunch express line. The quality of meals was beyond my expectation. I also saw close bonds between the culinary faculty and students,\u201d said Hwang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Hwang also felt welcomed and supported by the DVC International Students Office and the large population of international students at DVC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cCalifornia has the biggest immigrant population in the world. Learning about European, North and South American, and West Asian cuisine can be overwhelming. But here I can learn the true form of each cuisine and develop their flavor profile on the tip of my tongue,\u201d said Hwang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Hwang truly enjoys the DVC culinary program, despite some of the limitations caused by COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cWith smaller classes, we have a high chef to student ratio per classroom. We are able to build even closer bonds and connection with the faculty and each other,\u201d said Hwang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Hwang feels that giving back is an important part of being a DVC student.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cBefore the pandemic, I volunteered with Disability Support Services. I supported other culinary students by taking notes for them. In the kitchen, I interpret the instructions so they understand how to make the lesson\u2019s recipes safely,\u201d said Hwang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Hwang plans to bring that spirit of giving as he embarks on the next step in his career path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cI want to establish a training program where accessibility and culinary art meet. The doors will be open to all students, even those with mental and physical challenges. I\u2019ll start by working as a chef in non-profit culinary organizations so that I can learn how to structure, budget and run an organization similar to what I have planned,\u201d said Hwang.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Culinary Arts Students Stock DVC Food Pantry with Fresh Meals to Go<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-72 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/dvc.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-3-issue-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/11\/44019865981_a5531c26c2_o-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"DVC Food Pantry\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dvc.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-3-issue-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/11\/44019865981_a5531c26c2_o-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dvc.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-3-issue-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/11\/44019865981_a5531c26c2_o-1024x642.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dvc.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-3-issue-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/11\/44019865981_a5531c26c2_o-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dvc.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-3-issue-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/11\/44019865981_a5531c26c2_o-1536x962.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dvc.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-3-issue-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/11\/44019865981_a5531c26c2_o-2048x1283.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Many families are struggling due to economic challenges.
