This is my creative way of letting you know a little bit about me... My name is Lashana Brown and I am currently a student at Western Michigan University. I am majoring on Food Service Administration with a minor in Business. I am focused right now on graduating from college and moving on to culinary school. My career goal is to own my own restaurant. I am very passionate about cooking and how food has a way of bringing people closer together. I would love to one day have a restaurant that is centered fully around affordable family dining with an atmosphere that is very inviting and unique. A place where busy families can still sit down and have a great home cooked meal for a great price.
I graduated from Loy Norrix High School in Kalamazoo, MI before attending WMU. I loved my high school and my teachers. Though sadly I was not able to continue playing sports when I started high school due to an roller coaster accident. Yeah that's right! A roller coaster accident. I get a funny reaction every time I mention that. Most people cannot believe it. So instead I started a Principal Advisory committee at my high school. This committee allowed students the opportunity to have their voices heard regarding all of the changes being made throughout our school.
Outside of school I am a very energetic person who loves life. I love to spend time doing things that allow me to grow as a person and still have a life. One important part of my life growing up was being a part of the Kalamazoo Jeter's Leaders. This organization was a great thing for me because it allowed me to experience things that I never would have dreamed. But the organization as a whole is all about teens and healthy lifestyles. While pledging to be drug and alcohol free, I was able to demonstrate to my peers the benefits and importance of academic achievement, and social change. As an active alumni member today I am still proud of my program and all that is has come to be.
I spend the rest of my free time reading, cooking and spending time with friends. I believe that everyone has to find something that they truly love out of life, something that truly makes them happy! And what makes me happy is to relax and just enjoy my friends and family around me.

Lashana, YES, you did give me goose bumps, what the heck happened in the roller coaster ride?? I thought those things were supposed to be safe.
I look forward to eating in your restaurant one day!
I have always wanted to be a culinary chef. Good luck and if you ever need a sampler.. I'm here for ya! I was looking on the syllabus and there is a topic under "explorations" that is cooking an authentic African recipe. Maybe that is something you can look into doing for your points.
You are a great role model. We need more people like you that can show today's teens how important it is to succeed in school and make the right choices!
