The knowledge, skills and contacts obtained in Business Magnet Program will remain valuable well beyond high school.
My name is Ian Yu, current president of the JSerra Business Magnet Program (BMP). I am an international student who has been enrolled at JSerra for four years now. I love every aspect of our school, especially the Business magnet programs. As a Business Magnet Program member, I can attest to the priceless and rewarding opportunities that this organization provides. Members are able to increase their understanding of the business world by participating in business competitions, attending business tours, networking with business professionals, and listening to guest speakers. This organization advances members’ leadership and communication skills through conferences at the state and national levels. The knowledge, skills and contacts obtained in Business Magnet Program will remain valuable well beyond high school. If you are looking at the school that can well prepare you for college, JSerra should be your top choice. Especially if you want to go into the Business world, JSerra Business Magnet Program could definitely be your "cup of tea."
Let me ask you a question, what is Business? I guess your answer probably will be "money!" You are right, business is about money, without money there won't be any business. I think another thing that is important is networking or connection. In real business world, if you have a great connection or awesome network, you will find out that your life is much easier than others who don't have connection or network. JSerra BMP has a great networking system. We are under a national organization called FBLA (Future Business leader of America.), which 300 other high school across the USA are participating in as well. You get a chance to go to a real business to internship and write a business plan, you are able to go to UCI to listen to the speaker, LDI workshop, Oat-Day, and establish networking.
I can list all the events that we went to, I don't think three pages is enough. So to save your time, I will list why I picked the BMP.
First of all, just to let you know, all the courses Business Magnet provides are dual college credit classes. That means you are taking college courses starting sophomore year, and even better; you do not need to take an AP exam! All the credits are transferable. Dual credit classes are classes taken in high school, but count as a college course.
Second of all, everything in this world is about business. Think about it, no matter what your career choices are, it always comes back to business. If you want to be a lawyer, awesome, but you need to understand how to run an office and how to pay the bills, this is the business. Want to become an engineer, great, you can build fancy houses or super cool car, but most importantly, you need to know how to sell your car or how to promote them. That is sales and marketing. So I cannot stress the importance of understanding business.
Third of all, we have an amazing teacher. Mrs. Chaffee, as our advisor. She is a fabulous teacher and an experienced businessperson. Sometimes business concepts are actually confusing because they are not something that we can see or talk about all the time. Since Mrs. Chaffee has been in the business world so long, she can apply everything in the textbook into a real life example. Also, the courses Mrs. Chaffee teaches are all college courses, so when you go to college, and walk in the business class, you are already better than half of your peers.
Lastly, it is beneficial not only academically but in the real life. In BMP, you learn how to do the interview, how to write a business letter, and how to make a proper business phone call etc. Speaking from experience, I applied for USC and was called in for an interview; the interviewer was surprised how professional my resume was and how I performed during the interview.
There is black tea, green tea, lemon tea, but most importantly quali-tea. JSerra will give you an amazing experience no matter what. At JSerra, we are like a family, we have great school spirit and marvelous faculty and staff. I don't think another high school can give you the memories and experiences JSerra provides. I invite you to find out the amazing things JSerra is be able to provide personally though our shadowing program. I am proud that I am a Lion, and I encourage you to join our lion nation, most importantly join JSerra BMP.
XOXO Ian Yu
