My entire life I have always desired to be a leader. Whether it was in sports, school, or just hanging out with friends, I always felt the need to lead in a positive way. When I was 19 years old I had the opportunity to general manage a restaurant and learned many things from this experience about myself and what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Although I did not want to be a general manager forever, I realized that I did really enjoy the restaurant business and the happiness that a good restaurant experience can provide for people.

I think even though this report is over, I will still seek out a director of operations in the restaurant business and interview them for more specific insight into what I am trying to pursue. All in all I think this research project was very beneficial to me and it has increased my desires to obtain my dream
