During my time in the NAF Accounting course, I developed significantly in my ability to analyze and understand financial statements and documents, and learned how to create and maintain financial documents.  I learned how to create, check, and revise income statements, balance sheets, and other documents.  

Also, I completed my Monopoly Culminating Project, in which I kept my own account during my monopoly game, and edited and added to various different financial statements and documents.  Because of this course, I feel I have grown significantly in my ability to understand and create financial documents, and I also feel I built understanding in overarching business topics.

The NAF Marketing course taught me useful tools for marketing products, obtaining customer feedback, and planning marketing programs.  During my time in the course, I worked with classmates to come up with a company from the ground up.  

We were tasked with creating an idea for the company along with a name and sales pitch for it.  Later, we created surveys to collect customer feedback and made changes to our company accordingly.  We also made social media pages and a jingle to further extend the reach of our marketing programs.  Finally, we created a presentation to "propose" the company to our class.  Through this process, I significantly deepened my understanding of marketing techniques and strategies.   

NAF's Financial Planning course has made a significant contribution to my understanding of financial responsibility and planning.  After having taken this course, I feel prepared to manage my own finances and to make responsible financial decisions with my money.  

During this class, I worked on a financial plan for my life at 25 years old.  I made decisions about what I would invest in, where I would live, and when I would plan to retire.  By researching about each of these decisions and being tasked with ultimately making them myself, I became a more responsible, intelligent investor.  I am excited to take the skills that I learned in this class to my real finances as a grow older. 

NAF's Professional Ethics course provided me with a new perspective on the inner workings of business.  Previously, I had only been exposed to the finances or marketing of business, but this class showed me a new and nuanced facet of business.  

Learning business ethics was enjoyable because me and my classmates could discuss ethical issues freely and creatively.  During the course, I worked on a culminating project in which I studied insider trading.  By researching and addressing this issue, I built a strong understanding of how to approach ethical issues in business and how to effectively solve the issues.
