The thing is, I've done all that in training, it's just when I dove in to my classes and my mom came to live with me, I slacked. Now, I'm cutting not straight, saute meat like as if it's my first time, wrap something in dough with much more mistake than done right, I light a gas stove and apparently only get just gas and not flame on low and fkr all this, I get criticised and lectured for all this like it's my first time. And to top it all off, I vet told that my training was worthless and that while there, I didn't have a cooking class.
