Don't we all look back at that time and shudder at how we treated those who came from another place?

...beater incorrectly. I carried shards of a broken bowl around in my bag for three weeks because I didn’t want to let anyone know I had shattered it. My pants split the first day I worked the dessert line by myself. To this day, I shudder at the thought of making pastry cream—I’ve pretty much discovered every way there is to mess up a recipe that has only five ingredients. But things got easier.
