BEING ZORA

BY ZORA OGINAR
I am Zora, the coolest speller in Wisconsin. I am an awesome poet and writer, but mainly in my own head.  All the poems and rhymes that I write are stuck. Having only had a method of communication for a few years of my life means that I have a lot of things that I have been waiting to say. I started to write my thoughts when I was eight and I am only eleven now.

Baking With Apraxia

I love cooking.  It is the best thing that I do with my Mom.  Making cakes together became my favorite thing when I got a calendar with a different cake picture on it each month.   My Mom made every cake with a little assistance from me.  Not having the ability to control my motor makes it really difficult to do most of the steps.   But I can work the stand mixer really well.  That is really basic stuff, but having that down lets me learn something else.  Four things I want to learn are 1) using the scale to measure ingredients, 2) measuring with measuring cups and spoons, 3) cracking an egg without making it explode, and 4) being able to pour batter into the pans.  I am practicing these things all the time.  Having a mom that is always cooking lets me practice often.  Also, all the stuff we make is gluten free, which actually has made my apraxia better.

Nice article, Zora! I love your writing and I love your cakes!
I’m looking forward to the next piece you write and the next creation you and your mom make in the kitchen!

Hi Zora, Thank you for sharing your story and I'm excited to watch you become a baker. I love cooking and baking as well and loved sharing my passion with my 4 sons. Now they are older and enjoy making food and exploring the kitchen as well. Thanks for sharing your love for cakes. I look forward to watching you learn more and excell in all your goals.

Thank you so much for sharing. I love learning about your passions. I am also a little jealous that you get to bake with your mom. She makes such delicious things!
