"Anya metten!"
For me, the single most important aspect about chopping vegetables and washing dishes at Mama Lucy's Kitchen is that everything is Filipino. The food. The lingua franca. The atmosphere. And even that dripping faucet all remind me of that archipelago of seven thousand islands. I feel an empowered connection to my own culture whenever I come to work.
In fact, this distinctive Filipino quality is the reason for why Mama Lucy's Kitchen, a small business, is able to stand its ground against the nearby Chinese fast food franchise and McDonald's. As one of the few Filipino restaurants in an island of 64,000 people, Mama Lucy's found her own niche at that quaint stretch of Rice Street.
As an aspiring businessman, I hope to find my own niche in the business world, one that incorporates my identity, values, and past experiences. Maybe I can establish my own Filipino fast food franchise in the future. Who knows?
i really like yours, i don't know how to change it!
the "anya metten" at the beginning is really great.
the only thing i would say is talk aobut what you learnt from your work experiencee? other than that its a "niche at quaint stretch of Rice Street".
what university are you applying to?
In that first line, important is not as good a word as satisfying or meaningful. What is it you are really trying to say?
"Who knows" is a weak ending. A strong one would be one that conveys the fact that you know. and you can describe the specific kinds of business strategies you might use, too. Cite some articles and show that you are starting to read about entrepreneurship and strategic management, etc.
