The food truck industry’s annual revenue is about $960 million (IBIS World, 2017) and is skyrocketing, “growing at an annual 7.9 percent over the past five years” (Food Truckr, LLC, 2017) and is continuing to grow.

Starting Sam’s Fresh and Fit Food Truck will be on the expensive side. The CEO, Samantha Gilmore, has been able to secure a loan with a local bank for at least $100,000 for five years at 8% interest. This is what it will take to get Sam’s Fresh and Fit Food Truck up and going. The company has found a new food truck at $50,000 (CloverFoodLab.com, 2011), but is able to pay $20,000 right out of pocket when purchasing. Luckily, the food truck does not need a lot of equipment either, but the equipment

Everyone can identify themselves with a concrete culture and in every group there are numerous food dishes that satisfies one, or brings back peerless memories and feelings only they can relate to.

I feel if you had a problem with the verbiage I sent you in a text message from my personal cell phone to an unknown number that I did not recognize and also informing you I was at an appointment with my daughter, as a senior
Time is a mystery. It never stops or looks back, always steadily moves forward. The only thing it left behind is trails of memory. Those memories pile up, building a bridge to connect the past and the present that we call history. It is not only just a junction; it is also a tool for anyone or anything to learn. For a country that is still in development, understanding and learning history are crucial for their ongoing development. Taiwan as an independent country has rich history, one that

Amongst all these negative stereotypes, are there positive stereotypes too? The model minority myth is the idea
