"Junior Achievement Finance Park was amazing! This was one of the most powerful and meaningful real-world simulation experiences my students have had as an 8th grade community! The kids and parents are still talking about it! Especially as the kids realized how expensive some of their 'dream lifestyles' are. Now they really understand how important it is to have a great job, go to college, save money, and spend wisely. Thank you for the opportunity!"
- Aimee J. Holleb, Principal, Mark Twain Middle School
After completing their personal budgeting simulation at Finance Park, Junior Achievement invites students to visit the Deloitte College & Career Center where they can reflect on their experiences during the day:
"What did I learn today?"
"How will what I learned today influence
where I'll be in 10 years?"
"How do I define success
and what does it take to be successful?"
"Should I start thinking about colleges & careers now?
Why?"
"Who can help me achieve my goals?
How can they help me?"
