There I was sitting in an old 2006 Honda Odyssey driving up to my cottage on Lake Michigan. I had already been in the car for 4 hours and I was only halfway done with my journey. I didn’t know if I was going to survive. I was already missing my Lucy (my dog), and I had to live without for a week while the ferocious neighbors took care of her.

I awoke to my grandma baking blueberry pancakes. It led me downstairs where a large platter of them was waiting for me. After I was finished eating, I went to sit on the couch and watch cartoons. Eventually, the sun was high in the sky and shining. Time for tubing! We were on the water for hours. My uncle was flipping my cousins around and we were having a great time! By the time 4:00 came around, we were all dog-tired. As the days went on, I wanted to leave less and less. It was so nice not having any responsibilities and or jobs to do. I could just relax. Every day I would wake up to my grandma making a mouthwatering breakfast, then I would have fun tubing, eat a great dinner, and have a fantastic night’s sleep. I never wanted to leave. But, I missed Lucy and needed to get back to her soon so me and my family left for a long journey

If you get that same exact order at Hothead it would be worse because its popularity level isn’t as high as chipotle.…

    This section addresses Chipotle’s sales performance from 2012 to 2016. The following graph exhibits Chipotle’s total sales revenue during this period. As shown in the graph, Chipotle has consecutive revenue growth until 2015.

Because of the E.coli outbreak during the late 2015, which devastated Chipotle’s sales in the fourth quarter, the increase in revenue in 2015 was comparatively modest and primarily due to new restaurant openings (Chipotle, 2016).…

I realized that before I committed to having a permanent job I first wanted to travel like I’d always dreamed of while watching all the hollywood productions.

I went with little idea on how I was going to make a living, but I quickly got a job as waiter for Lotus Eaters Cafe. Now, this is the part where you just have to bear with me.…
