Please read my personal experience with JA below! I hope it will give you another reason or greater insight into why you should donate towards Junior Achievement. Your donation will help Junior Achievement inspire and educate more local students just like it educated me!!!

My Personal Experience with Junior Achievement

Junior Achievement provides an opportunity for kindergarten-12th grade students to engage in subjects like entrepreneurshipfinancial literacy skills, and global economics through experimental learning. Students partake in hands-on, interactive activities that prepares them for college and future career paths!

I love how Burns&McDonnell is a continuous and outstanding contributor towards Junior Achievement (JA) because I personally benefited from JA as a 5th grade student. JA collaborated with my elementary school to successful organize an all-day event at the JA Biztown school where students get a chance to learn and live out various professions they can pursue in the future! All the students take a field trip to JA Biztown where there are common business place such as a restaurant, a bank, and a radio station modeled. In this large interactive center, we, the students, played out different professions! I was chosen to be one of the bank tellers for the event where I deposited checks for different businesses and withdrew the appropriate "JA cash" used to purchase items such as food during our lunch break. Not only did I get a glimpse into the life of a bank teller, but I was surrounded by my fellow classmates who were working various professions (radio talk host, restaurant manager, doctor, engineer, and more)!  We had the opportunity to learning so much about different career paths while enjoying the event tremendously. It was the best field trip I had in elementary school and I am honored to have the opportunity now to raise money towards Junior Acheivement!
