1I like this class...

I have lots of fun but I also learn so much about the field of business.  Being online was very interesting.  All of my assignments were online so if I didn’t finish my work in class then I could easily do it at my house. 

I competed in DECA  and went to the state competition.  It was very fun.  I have received many awards while in this class.  I competed in DECA and sent to the state competition... it was fun.  I have received many awards while in this class.
