Some related courses in my school is Sports Entertainment Marketing and Web Design. Sports Entertainment Marketing can be very helpful because I already took it. This class helps you learn the basic functions of marketing which is product, price, promotions, and distribution. Web Design can help you improve your art-skills digitally. Extra-Curricular Activities can be very helpful as well. In West Leyden we have peer leaders and future business leaders in america.

An Internship can be very helpful like a Advertising Intern for a company like BoardWorks Outdoor Advertising.

References
A reference is the action of mentioning or alluding to something. The reason why a reference is important is because it'll help you have a better job opportunity. They give employers an idea of what they're getting into by hiring you-a glimpse into your work ethic and habits from someone who has already had substantial experience with you. For my reference I'll put
-Mrs. Kerri Kennedy-English teacher, school district #212
-Mr. Jeremy Jackson-Football coach, School district #212
-Mr. Adam Labriola-Basketball Coach, school district #212
Because They know more about me than any other teacher/coach but not just as a student/player but as a person
