When I was eight, my sister made it to the 3v3 soccer nationals
that happened to be held in Disney World. My family accompanied her down there
and we made a vacation out of it. We spent our days watching her play her games
and after she was done, we got to go the different Disney parks and ride all of
the rides and see all of the attractions. The very last day, we went to Epcot,
where you can walk around a lake and see the different countries represented.
In order to get the full experience, we stopped at each of the different
countries and bought a dessert; a crème brûlée from France,
chocolate from Germany, and flan from Mexico.
Each of these desserts had their own unique taste and every bite
left me wanting more. It wasn’t just that these desserts tasted good, because
they did, it was that they were an entirely new and exciting experience for me.
Each country had its own dessert; a dessert that had made its way to fame in
the many years that country had existed. It had entangled itself the country’s
history and somewhere along the way it became a representation of inimitable
culture and traditions.
Since then I have realized that it is not just countries with
these distinctive and delectable desserts, it is also people. People have both
good desserts and horrid ones, some are mediocre, and others are forgettable.
Whether these desserts taste good or not is entirely up to each individual
person.
I believe that it is important to work to be one of these
phenomenal and unforgettable desserts because a bland bread pudding is easily
forgettable, but an intricately seasoned and cared for crème brûlée can change a
person. If someone cares about how others perceive them and change themselves
for the better because of it, this world would be a much more delicious place.
