Meeting Maxime was one of the most memorable moments in my career. I felt so honored to be in the presence of such a great and famous chef. Maxime was full of energy, and he lit up the entire room from the moment he walked in. When Maxime was in the room, I did not realize how fast the time was going by from how much fun I was having. I was given the opportunity to use my imagination and to really laugh louder than I have in any other class I have ever been in. Maxime has taught me to be proud in what I do and to always give the best of me.
