Pots are clanging, whisks are flying, and Ebony Schultz is cracking her last egg when I walk into the UTTC kitchen.

Schultz, a first-year Culinary Arts and Nutrition student says this is where she feels most creative and most at home.

“[Cooking is] what I really love doing, and I guess, I was a really young mother and one of the things I told myself is that I always want to provide for my children and this is one of the main ways,” Schultz says.

Now, as a culinary student, she is taking her passion for cooking and making it a career.

“It’s creative and you get a tasty end result,” Schultz says.

But her main motivation to begin her classes here, at UTTC, has always been her kids.

“I felt like it’s more of a family than it’s a community,” Schultz says. “I felt like I fit in more here.”

Finding the place she belongs the moment she stepped into the kitchen.

“It’s a stress reliever for me and I feel good at the end of the project because you make something out of nothing,” Schultz says.

UTTC is committed to spreading awareness and providing support for anyone who has been affected by domestic violence. Throughout the month of October, UTTC invites the community to take part in spreading awareness of the continuing problem of domestic violence in our own communities. UTTC is hosting two events in October to raise awareness and provide resources to those who have come in contact with domestic violence. The Be a Good Relative event will take place Oct. 4, 2018, 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. in the  Wellness Center Conference Room on UTTC’s campus. Participants will discuss how to identify potentially violent situations, helpful resources, and learn how to lessen incidents of violence in the community. On October 11, 2018, 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., in the UTTC Wellness Center Healing Room, UTTC will host the second annual National Domestic Violence Awareness event on campus. Join the UTTC community to hear stories of survivors of abusive relationships and receive important information on how you can do #1Thing to eliminate domestic violence.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
