With all the knowledge gained through this experience ive learned many things throughout this project. When starting this project i did not know where to go i thought it would just be a normal thing were just being a manager running the store and just keep track of everything else. But i wanted to do something differnt and thanks to my mentor she was able to guide me where this project could go. She as well wanted to do something differnt and we came to the conclusion on how can we make a change on what the everyday customer gets and if we can change their minds about healthy eating instead of just getting the usual.

Some examples on how we could per say advertise healthy items to customers we would offer them apples instead of fries or milk for the sodas. And if some customers were to listen myself and my mentor would explain to the customers on how much fast food can really affect the body. And to my amazement some customers really started to make a change. It started in small numbers but it meant that this project was progressing.

Throughout this project i gained much experience but also faced many challenges. First for the experience i gained a tolerance for people. What i mean by that is there were many customers that did not want to hear about the health affects of fast food and wouldnt give me a least a minute to explain, in sense it let me gained tolreance for peoples ignorance. But at the same time i wasnt much of a people person and i Liked to keep to myself but this project made me go out of my comfort zone which was tough for me but eventually i got through my own barrier. And now for the challenges well the main challenges through this project was simply the customers and myself and my mentor trying to give out the message on fast food. To explain it it felt like were repeating over and over again and barely anyone would listen so that was a chanllege itself but also taught me persistence to not give up on something just because progress isnt showing it takes time.
