46 What Students Are Saying I learned how to effectively run a business You got to be responsible for all your actions Without Exchange City, I would not know what an accountant does I learned what it is like to own a business I learned how to write a check, deposit money and run a big shop I enjoyed the responsibility of working as an attorney in City Hall I learned how to write checks and list every transaction in the register book I learned how to run a bank now I have to get an education Getting my paycheck was cool I was Sales Associate at the Nature Shop. Selling was a blast Now I understand the process my parents go through paying bills It was hard to be calm during the job interview I learned that to pay off the loan is not as easy as it sounds Being president of the bank was complicated yet fun I really think the bank business is what I am most interested in My number one shop was the Broadcast center because I owned it Now I see how it feels to have a real job and to work as a team I liked counting the money that was going to pay back the bank loan Now I know why my mom is so tired after working
