Campus senior Abbigail Phanco didn’t necessarily have an interest in business before getting involved in YEK.
But she has certain attributes that she thinks will serve her well in the future.
“I am a people person and a great problem-solver,” Phanco said. “I stay motivated in my academics because of how much I am involved in school. I am considering taking those skills to major in Human Resource Management or Business.”
Phanco now is heavily involved in all of the business opportunities Campus High School presents.
“I have taken IB Business junior and senior years of high school,” Phanco said. “I have worked at our Coffee Shop in our school, Stompin’ Grounds Coffee Shop, for my junior year, and continuing with it through senior year, but as a manager. I intern at one of the branches of the Valley State Bank through Campus.”
If a perspective student at Campus even has a remote interest in business now or in the future, then Phanco would encourage them to get involved.
“I would recommend taking YEK, even though I haven’t taken it, to start your business discoveries, where you learn many skills and collaborate with many other students,” Phanco said. “Or even taking IB Business to understand the business world in a more detailed way.”
