It’s been my dream since I was little to own a restaurant. I worked in the food business for a little over a year. It was a small locally owned business, so I got to learn all the things that went into it. Over the past few years, I’ve been creating a list of all the things that could be made with Mac-n-Cheese. I haven’t seen a restaurant like it yet. I’m going to continue studying entrepreneurship and trying my hardest to become one, even if it’s not with my idea.

Cooking is More Than a Hobby

with These Future Entrepreneurs

Joshua M. of Detroit, MI.

Joshua has ideas for a few businesses

including opening up a restaurant

because he likes to cook. He writes, "As

far as I could remember, I've seen people

around me struggling to make ends meet

in jobs where they could never grow. I

will try not to ever let that happen to me.

i want to run my own hours and be happy

to talk about my job to others or even be

happy to be there. If there is one thing I

see most at the state competition are

those kids while they may work very hard,

they have all the tools to get there in the

palm of their hands. They don't know the

hunger you have to have to succeed in

this life."
