I talked with my faculty members. I talked with my family. It was tough because everything I had done in my life led up to the decision of a music education degree, and becoming a music teacher. It was the reason I joined the Army, so I could afford to go to school. And to give that up, I did not take that lightly at all. But I looked at the situation, and I thought, \u201cIf I don\u2019t try this, I will always wonder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>You talked to your professors? What did they think of your decision?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What was great about my professors, and two of them in particular, is that they understood that they were there as mentors, and that was regardless of whether it was that traditional track toward a career I went to school for, or if it was taking me in a slightly different direction. It was really cool that they realized there was value in my degree even if I didn\u2019t use it for its intended purpose.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15970\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15970\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/02\/Indulgence.Chocolatiers-j4-1u2m3hv.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15970\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/02\/Indulgence.Chocolatiers-j4-1u2m3hv.jpg\" alt=\"Mariana Cyr, of Indulgence Chocolatiers, pours melted chocolate into a mold to make sweet art.

I am using that portion of my degree all the time. I know music is a different art, but it still gave me that appreciation for art, and all forms of it, and I think what we do is artistic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you learn to make the chocolate?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m completely self-taught; all of our current chefs are professionally trained pastry chefs. It was a lot of trial and error. I really enjoy studying something, and trying to understand the concepts of it, and then going out and trying it, and once you figure out a basic recipe, or basic food concept, you can start to play with it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15969\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/02\/Indulgence.Chocolatiers-j5-1x38t6p.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15969\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/02\/Indulgence.Chocolatiers-j5-1x38t6p.jpg\" alt=\"Mariana Cyr, of Indulgence Chocolatiers, flips over a chocolate mold before she evening out the top of the tray.

As it cools and solidifies, it simply lifts the design off the paper, and it\u2019s part of the chocolate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julie Waterman was a senior at 51ÁÔÆæ
