Student Testamonials

“I am absolutely LOVING my JA experience. It’s so nice to have so many people so excited to see you when you walk in the door” Heather Stinnett

“The kids I taught reminded me of the innocence and imagination of youth.” Jenna Goodwin

“It gave me the chance to influence the lives of children. I know that I remembered the people who came to help me, so I am glad that I can do the same for someone else.” Jessica Ross

“The kids were great and I wish that I could ditch my friends to hang out with them.” Mike Falk

“I was so pleased by the reception and admiration the students presented, I was inspired to be a better role model.” Nida Merchant

“I felt the time spent with the children enriched my career as a student. I will never forget my experience. It helped me feel as though I made a difference.” Sheila Zook

“The skills I have developed from the JA experience will greatly benefit the rest of my time here at UCF.”

“I personally have had the opportunity to hang around with 5 year olds. That is awesome because what better way to view the world is there then through the eyes of a child.” Brittany Moscato

“I have a paper bag full ‘I love you’ notes from my class. If that is not a reason to feel more fulfilled, I don’t know what is.”

“My experience with Junior Achievement allowed me to see the world from a first grader’s point of view. The blunt honesty, innocence, and joyful nature of the students I encountered gave me the chance to step away from my busy college life and share a bit of time with a group of young minds looking up to me for lessons on life. It feels good to give back.” Rachel Odom
