Unity tutorials explicitly say that "Gameobject.Find()" is a bad way to do the unity check if gameobject exists. It is very resource intensive and is not necessary! Take a Look at Adam Buckner's tutorial on this subject, "communication between scripts and game objects". You can find the article here:

I know you may not be too concerned about efficiency at this point, BUT! as you polish this, you will become more and more concerned about it, and this will be a good habit to learn now, instead of attempting to fix a bad habit later!
Hope this helps!!!
