School: Olathe South Senior High, Olathe (KS)
“Personal Finance is a great class that teaches key money management skills for life. I feel it should be mandatory for all high school students because it helps prepare for the future by covering topics such as budgeting, saving for retirement, and maintaining good credit. Personal Finance has helped open the door to financial conversations with my parents and planning for my college expenses. I will be attending college in the fall to pursue a degree and eventually work as an actuary. I wasn't even aware of this field until I took this class! Taking personal Finance was one of the best things I could have done to help prepare for my financial future!”
