Then What\u2019s Stopping You?<\/b><br \/>\nIt is mid-December 2016 and in a moment of madness (or clarity), I quit my job \u2013 I won\u2019t bore you with the minutiae of the events that lead to my departure, but at my leaving party I had to give a speech. I apologised to my friends for not being strong enough to stay and said I am tearful at leaving them a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> down. I said my goodbyes and my boss hugged me and whispered \u201cyou are stronger than you think, because you CHOSE to go\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Within a week of leaving, I am happier than I have been in a months. Marian, my wife, immediately notices a change in me. I\u2019m regaining my sense of humour, I have an appetite again and I\u2019ve stopped grinding my teeth in my sleep.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve. I am trying to finish my online application for the 8th series of GBBO before the fireworks begin. Of course, I don\u2019t make it. I take a break at midnight to enjoy a glass of bubbly with my wife before I return to my form. My expectation versus what is achievable (in the time allowed) has always been an issue and I need to remedy it. \u201cMaybe that will be my New Year\u2019s resolution,\u201d I think.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t finish until 2am but I\u2019m finally happy with what I have written. I press the submit button. It\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p>You all know what happens after that of course. I make it to the tent, I made most of you laugh (a lot) and cry (a little) and I produce a few good (phallic) bakes along the way. And when it was time to leave, although I didn\u2019t choose it, I am ready to go. With no regrets and the knowledge that I did the best I could.<\/p>\n<p>There were loads of highs along the way. Obviously, the handshake and the two technical firsts spring to mind, but also the absolute thrill of being in THAT tent with all those wonderful bakers surpasses all expectation.<\/p>\n<p>Even the lows such as my cottage loaf looking like BB8 are memorable because I gained valuable knowledge every time I was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p>I learnt that the Stroopwaffel challenge was essentially the Kobayshi Maru of technicals, where the real test is how we accept failure, deal with it and move on (and joke about it for the rest of the summer #grainycaramel).<\/p>\n<p>My real lows came when I was away from the tent. I became exhausted because I was practicing my bakes until the small hours whilst still doing a full day\u2019s work (Oh, I forgot to mention that I got a job as a Research Scientist at the Francis Crick Institute Hurrah!). I was so very tired, but my mind would not let me give up on either because I was enjoying it all so much.<\/p>\n<p>So what now? I get asked all the time if I will give up my job to write a cook book or open a bakery. Open a bakery or writing recipes? I really don\u2019t have the discipline for either (it\u2019s taken me six days to write this and its only 600 words!).<\/p>\n<p>The answer is no &#8211; baking was, and still is, a hobby. I love my job and work with a fantastic team. I am proud that I help save lives and I have no plans to leave.<\/p>\n<p>So why did I do it?<\/p>\n<p>To prove I could. Me. An ordinary person.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n<p>If a middle aged Oriental <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">female<\/a> can make it all the way to the GBBO tent.<\/p>\n<p>Then what\u2019s stopping you?<\/p>\n<p>Inadvertently, through GBBO, I have been given a voice. I hope to use this to invoke change for the better.<\/p>\n<p>Bullied at school for being nerdy, now I\u2019m promoting STEM to children.<\/p>\n<p>I am an example that immigration does work. I am proof that we are not parasites to society and have paid more into the system than have ever taken out.<\/p>\n<p>I am a role model to LGTBQ of all ages showing that being different IS normal.<\/p>\n<p>The past year has taught me to never to give up. When there is nothing but darkness, HOPE is a guiding light &#8211; words to <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> by I think.<\/p>\n<p>Merry Christmas and a Hopeful New Year.<\/p>\n<p>Love Yanny<\/p>\n<p>x<\/p>\n<p>This blog is part of HuffPost UK\u2019s 12 days of Christmas series.
