Dreams need not only to image, but also to try! Shin worships her father since childhood and dreams to become a chef like her father.
When Shin first came to Agape Children’s Home, she was anxious about the unfamiliar environment. Like a kitten, she was always cautious about the people and things around her!
Because of her lack of self-confidence, she has the idea that others don't like her.
Just seeing other people talking makes her feel like they're talking bad things about her. She thought people all over the world don't like her. After all, even she doesn't like herself.
However, the unpleasant personality did not deter Agape Children’s Home teachers. On the contrary, the teacher felt sorry for Shin's lack of self-confidence. In addition to giving more company, it will also guide Shin to discover her own value and enthusiasm!
In the process of getting along, the teacher found that Shin admires her chef dad. She's a foodie herself, especially when it comes to desserts. Naturally, chef dad is like a hero.
Therefore, whenever there is a baking class, Shin will be arranged to participate. Really! Shin is very interested in making dim sum. In addition to being willing to try all kinds of food, when eating delicious or novel food, Shin is always satisfied and shouting loudly: "de-li-cious".
The exaggerated voice and expression will make everyone laugh every time.
Through baking lessons over and over again, Shin fell in love with this activity that was both "eating" and "playing". Because of this, she gets to know everyone more and more, and her personality has become more cheerful. The kitten is gradually conquered by love and cooking. Every time the baked dessert is released, Shin will feel a sense of accomplishment and gradually like her own cheerful self. When the teacher talked to Shin about her dream, she said, "I want to be a chef like my father and bring delicious food to everyone."
Seeing Shin find her future goals and her life has changed, the teacher is pleased.
Now, at the end of each class, Shin will always be heard asking, "Teacher~ Teacher~ what snacks are we going to make next week?"
Everyone heard a burst of laughter and looked forward to the next class.
