Adele –the Olympics Thinking that you might be interested in knowing what one of your past students is doing now, I thought that I would message you to say that I will be working at the Winter Games next month! I have accepted a supervisory position with Whistler Cooks Catering for the month of February. This company will be feeding athletes, their families, and delegates at the Whistler venues. I'm positive that the superior education and guidance that I received at the Mount have helped me in achieving this professional and personal goal! Therefore, I owe a lot of thanks to *YOU*! 14
