What CTE courses have you taken so far?
I have taken Marketing, Advanced Marketing, Marketing Lab, and Computer Programming I.
Do you have a favorite memory, lesson, or class project from Marketing?
I think one of my memorable projects would be Market Day. Market Day was a large-scale project teaching us the ups and downs as entrepreneurs but overall helped us understand the overall process of advertising, financial literacy and more.
Do you believe what you've learned in this CTE course has prepared you for your future career?
I absolutely do. I value all the time I’ve spent and learnt with CTE courses. It has not only prepared me for my future career but helped me figure out what path I would like to pursue.
