First best part of yet was seeing everyone’s shop and how they were set up. But if I had to change one thing it would be to make the location or the shops bigger because with a lot of people in one shop was very small. And I learned that it’s not always easy to sell your stuff because some people wouldn’t buy things if the items were a lot of money. Even if the prices were a good deal they would just walk out the store. So in order to get people to buy your products,play your game, you NEED to advertise. Overall I had a pretty good experience,having to remember that you had to either tip your hat or turn your tie. I would recommend people to go, it gives you a real life experience of what life could be or look like,when it comes to working.

(1). I learned how to spend money in the real world by using a debit card and know i no how hard it is for people who are so exhausted from work. (2). I’m getting to spend the money and getting to work with my friends and getting a debit card. (3). First I would expand the room to put bigger building and I would put a jail in it.
It was fun and what i learned at yat is that you have breaks and you have two breaks at yat and you can go to the other place and you have to do what the laws and if you do not you will get a ticket and you have to go to the court and you have to say stuff and other things. The best thing at Yat is the investment cafe and you can buy snacks that are $2.00 and $3.00 dollars and drinks. If i would change the TV station because it was cool but it is not for me and yat was fun.
Peyton.M YAT. Blog_ I learned at YAT that you should not spend all your money at once because there might be better stuff somewhere else, how to use checks, how to use a withdrawal, That something could happen at any time that you would not expect, and how to camera. My favorite part of YAT for me was doing my job as a digital media specialist because I got to photograph other people doing their jobs, looking around for stories, and getting to write down the stories and have photographs with them. If I could change anything about YAT it would be that there were bigger shops so it wasn’t so crowded, that shops would have more items to sell and we got to chose the prices because you had only a small variety of shops, items, and jobs, and that there would be more shops and more jobs because there are so many jobs out there and those are just a couple out of trillions of jobs to choose from.

I like YAT! Because I learned about how to use DC and how to use a checking account it is hard for me. But everybody helps me because I can do it !
My best part of YAT is I can sell stuff and everyone pays for that and stuff left is just 8!
But i want to change about less people! I want more people and I want more big spies and more shops and a long time and… I want to go again.
One thing I learned at young AmeriTowne was how certain businesses work and I learned how ads work at the tv station. I also learned more financing things,like I learned the banking process and yat made it more understandable. I had a really fun time there but one thing I would change would be the snacks at the investment cafe. Because I did get food and enjoyed it but I personally think that there should’ve been more options but for the most part yat doesn’t need a lot of changes.The best part for me was when I got to go into every store to get the info for the logos I was gonna make.

I learned that it is important to spend your money wisely and when you don’t have a lot of money you should spend it on things you need then you can spend it on things you want.The best part for me was EVERYTHING. The work was fun and the banking and the shopping was probably the best part. If I could change anything I would change the warehouse to let you get the products that you need.
In my opinion YAT was a fun experience because we got to learn about banking. And we got to run our own stores and just learn the basics of running a store. I wouldn’t really change anything about YAT because it is already really fun to do YAT it is one of my favorite field trips ever I did however think YAT was going to be outside and I didn’t expect the shops to be connected but I liked YAT a lot.
What did I learn at yat? I learned that yat that people don’t get break’s often so i learned that breaks are when you can eat , and do important things like buy items on break’s and spend the time carefully.
What was the best part of yat
The best part of yat is the experience of the shops to prepare for the real world when we need to get jobs and use checks credit cards and cash to show us what to expect when taking on a job.
What could i change about yat
I would change the time for breaks 15 min per break
I would change the prices because they were to high
Last thing is the bank gave us 15 $ i think we should get 20$

the best part of yat was when we were working and if I could change anything at yat i would probably make it so i’m the manager of investment because at the t.v. station i did mostly nothing but tell people when they should go on break and when they should be coming back to the workplace but overall i think it was i good place to work at and i want to say thank you to the yat people for being so nice and letting us have this working experience.

I learned a lot at yat stocking inside a warehouse is super easy walking around and giving software media investment cafa radio bank and tv room and moving a bunch of boxes. I also learned that promoting a business is easy. You just have to use your loud voice and get people to order. It also makes it easier to go to the tv room and make an ad. I also learned how easy it is to just do your job and follow your boss commands then you will keep your job and get paid. The more you do good people will notice. The best part of yat was buying things it felt nice going to buy cookies and juice all by myself i felt responsible going to the bank and buying stamps all by myself.

What I learned at yat was how important banking is. and how you need to be responsible. I don’t know this is coming into yat but now I do. The best part of it was when I said my speech because I thought it was cool because we had been building up to going there and I got to start it all off and that’s what I liked.
I loved YAT; it was actually my favorite field trip! I learned a lot there too, such as how to write checks, how to use debit cards/DC, I learned how to properly treat and help customers to get a sale, and the most important thing… how to deal with banking, selling, and providing goods. YAT did have a few down sides, one of them being my shop had to wait for new materials and we had sold out completely, which wasn’t helpful because we had a lot of people come in but they had to leave because we didn’t have the products we needed in order to stay open as a shop. Overall, my experience at YAT was amazing and I would definitely go back again.

One thing that I learned in yat was you have to keep track of your money because if you don’t then you will overdraw and Overdrawing is bad but I did not overdraw. The best part of yat was buying stuff because it was really fun to buy stuff and to sell stuff too . The one thing that I would change are some of the laws because it just had more things I needed to think about and I had a lot of things to think about. Some of them were just weird too.
When I walked into YAT, I liked it, I liked how the shops were set up, how it ´ s giving kids a point of view about what it ´ s like to have a job, and have responsibility. One thing I would change about Yat is to make the shops have more space because of how many kids/people are in one shop. Overall my experience at YAT was fun and entertaining!

I learned that yat isn’t about just doing jobs it’s about making money so you can have a house to live in and so you can buy food and water when you grow up and the best part of yat was buying the stuff and pretending to help saving my classmates i don’t think i will change anything about yat but i did have really fun in yat and it made me think of playing doctor when i had medical Center to work in because it was pretend
What i learned at yat is economics at banking and business what i liked at yat is buying everyone liked it too i think well what disliked at yat my legs get sore so did my throat so yeah other than that it was all good so yeah that was my experience so yeah thats all i know to say the most fun was i had was arresting people the least fun i had was not being break so that’s all i want to say cause well the last words i want to say is that yat is awesome ok thats all
I learned to write checks, use debit cards, and run a shop. I thought that the best part of YAT was when people came to buy stuff and when we got to buy stuff from other shops because it was fun, entertaining, and worthwhile. I would change how they tell the Game Developers to program, and let them create their own spin-off addition because it felt like we were trapped and given demands. It wasn’t fun to just be forced to do a simple program either, so I didn’t really like that part of YAT, but other than that, it was a blast.
