Almost done!

So we're reaching the last few weeks of the internship and it's caused me to look back on day one and reminisce on everything that I have accomplished this semester.  It has no doubt been a difficult couple of months for me for several reasons, but I feel that whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. 

One of my biggest challenges this semester was the transition from supervisor to manager.  This change in title came with a lot more responsibility than I was expecting.  I was held accountible for a lot of stuff within my department.  I've come to realize that deadlines, tasks, and other duties are set in place for a reason.  I think that even though the last couple of months have been pretty bumpy for me, I have come out of this whole situation a lot stronger and better as a manager within an organization. 

I have been very lucky to be in the position that I am now in as Asst. Outlets Manager and it will only help me to rise within this industry and find what it is that I love.  I really do enjoy working in the restaurant and in doing so I have been able to see what I enjoy doing the most.  Through this position I have found that I really enjoy coming up with new and innovative ideas to bring more people into the restaurant.  I also have found that the restaurant business is a very exciting and fast-paced industry.  There really aren't enough hours in the day for all the work that needs to be done!!
