What I love about MBA are the teachers. MBA teachers from my experience have always made me feel like they cared that I succeeded which has helped me emotionally through high school.  Also, what I love about MBA is what we learn. We learn how to become business owners, marketing directors, and other careers in the business field which really isn't often offered in most high schools. More than just learning out of a book, we do many projects, go on field trips, attend trade shows, and more.
