Interview with Curtis by Preston Allen


Preston Allen

English 121

            Curtis Rindels is a very interesting man and Front Range Community College and Boulder County should be lucky to have him.  He is a college student with a culinary background and hopes to become a culinary instructor in the very near future. 

Curtis was born in a small town in Nebraska and is 28 years old. He graduated from high school in that very same town. He currently lives in Niwot, Colorado and likes it very much. He especially likes being close to Front Range Community College where he is currently attending. This year is his first year at Front Range and although he is not very familiar with the campus, he is excited to learn where everything is and what Front Range is all about. He plans to attend here for two years and receive his associate’s degree. 

 Before Curtis came to Front Range, he went to culinary school to learn how to be a chef.  He has been in the food/culinary industry for 10 years now.  He has worked in several restaurants in the state of Colorado. For instance, he has worked at the Flagstaff house in Boulder, a simple mom and pop shop in Niwot, and a restaurant called The Kitchen in Boulder as well. He says that he no longer wants to be a chef and that he wants to be a culinary instructor instead. He wants to learn how to teach people how to cook.

            What also intrigued me about him is that last time he remembers really doing writing assignments like he will be doing now in our English class, was when he was back in high school. He is more of a tablet person and prefers a tablet over a computer 10 times out of 10. He did tell me that he writes every day through emails and texting. He finds that email we is a very effective way of communication but finds that texting is much more ideal for him and his fast pace of living. He doesn’t always find the time to email people back right away. He knows how to use Microsoft Word and can navigate the Internet substantially well. He is not very big into social networking and hasn’t been for some time. He doesn’t post or update his status but does find himself looking at Facebook almost every day. He said that “it’s like a drug, you just have to be on”. He tells me that his goal for this class this semester, is to end the semester with an A.

            Curtis is excited to attend Front Range.  He says that he is here to work hard and achieve his ultimate goal, which is to be a culinary instructor.  The only problem that he foresees is that he is not familiar with the online website and he says that is “overwhelming”.  Still, he plans to receive his associate degree here and keep moving forward with his education so that he can become a culinary instructor.
