I started cooking when I was thirteen. I grew up in a home where both of my parents worked, so I was usually alone with my two younger siblings after school. Unlike other days, our parents forgot to prepare our dinner before they went to work. I was the oldest among us all, and going out for dinner was beyond our budget at the moment, so I decided to be the chef of the day. A few moments later, I settled to cook fried rice, which seemed to be the best option out of limited resources, including my cooking knowledge. After placing a skillet on the stove and turning up the heat, it soon began to sizzle. My stomach was growling, so I rushed and threw everything into the pan all together. In went rice, pieces of meat, some soy sauce for flavoring, and scraps of veggies. Little did I know that the order of ingredients was crucial in cooking. I waited for the meat to be thoroughly cooked, but other ingredients were burning. At first, I mistook it as a steam from cooking, but I soon grasped something went horribly wrong when billows of smoke emerged to fill the kitchen.
Later that day, my mother told me that you cannot rush yourself when cooking. Rather, I should take steps, turning to the basics such as learning about ingredients and referring back to the recipe. My first cooking experience went haywire, but its implications went far beyond simply being a cooking fiasco. It was not until I was a freshman in college that this lesson started to shape my perspective on life.

The television star Julia Child allowed Americans to understand the joy of cooking and the passion to not only make food but take advantage of the “ways” the French had to experience a more delightful meal. Her television show along with the books that she made helped the people see cooking as “an immerse pleasure and a true creative outlet”. During the 1960’s she also introduced another tradition from the French cuisine which was drinking wine while having a meal. Julia Child promoted changes in food and the way kitchens were built as well. She believed that there had to be a place for everything, her kitchen had different drawers to put the materials, tools and equipment placed in particular areas and work surfaces so that she was able to cook having the right amount of space depending on what she was doing.
Next, the life lesson is learned when the narrator comes to the realization that even though his father rarely spoke; he was always there to support him. As told by the narrator “Maybe words aren’t what’s important. Maybe words would just steal away your freedom to think for yourself” (de la Pena 10). The narrator learns the life lesson of the importance to think for oneself. The final life lesson is shortly after when the narrator is writing his essay on what he learned over the summer.
In a world wrapped within chaos and fighting, “The Lesson” takes a different look: education. Rather than the protests or bitterness that characterizes social change, this story almost wants to say “It is more important to teach, than it is to fight”. Often those who are placed taught will go on to bring upon change, as the children today are the future of tomorrow. For me, this is something I can absolutely apply in my everyday life. Formerly being an individual who wanted to “fight” everyone, I have found great joy in teaching.
