Reflection:

During one of the labs this quarter, we used a gigantic torch with a huge fire. Now, I am really paranoid about burning myself. I had a friend who was obsessed with matches and liked to stick her finger through flames but I couldn't stand to be around her. Whenever I bake I am extra cautious when putting in the cookie sheet and very careful not to touch the oven.

So, you can imagine when I saw the gigantic flame we were going to use in class, I had a small panic attack. Then, I quickly got over it and decided, I might as well experience the lab to its fullest. Why do you think they call it an experiment? Plus, If I was more comfortable with fire, I could probably learn to cook like they do on Top Chef.

When holding the torch I was very aware of my surroundings and the position of the flame. I was very responsible when controlling the height of the flame and turning off/on the gas. I am very glad I participated in this lab fully, instead of holding back because of my fears. Now I can look back and think, "I don't regret a thing". Even though this experience eased my tension with fire, I admit I'm still quite scared. I won't by swiping my hand in the flame anytime soon.
