     This experience made my knowledge about business and retail much more vast and gave me a vision of what the retail side of business is truly like. From passing on tips from his 25+ years in the industry to informing us on what is truly takes to become a hard-working professional, Mr. Laughlin's advice and tips made me want dive in deeper and explore the world of business and retail.

After telling my aunt about this business experience, she decided this summer she is hosting a camp in which there will be doing two different business ventures. One of them will be going into retail stores like Nordstrom or Mac and pitching a recycling and reusing aspect to glass makeup bottles. Cleaning out and reusing makeup bottles will help the community as a whole and make the makeup industry more eco-friendly. Introducing recycling and reusing in a few retail stores will hopefully grow the idea to many other stores and make many more eco-friendly. Exploring the world of retail more in this perspective will hopefully develop a more concrete sense of if I want to pursue the world of retail and business.
