Accepting the ChallengeChristy WalkerBenjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledgealways pays the best interest.” At Germantown High School, afew students have truly taken that quote to heart, winning botheconomics and personal finance state competitions for notjust this past school year but for the past three years straight!What started as an introduction to basic economic andpersonal finance principles under former GMS teacherDeborah Morali has grown to a consistent investment inthemselves. Team member Shreenithi Lakshminarayanan saideach time she competes, she gets to practice new applicationsin practical scenarios and learns about the importance ofdiversifying and understanding the foundational principles ineconomics and finance that will teach her skills that will beheavily utilized in her future.Each year, the Mississippi Council on Economics Educationconducts the Economics Challenge and Personal FinanceChallenge state competitions for middle and high schoolersfrom across the state. The winners earn college scholarshipswith the high school teams advancing to the national competition.GHS team member Cooper Word believes competingin the economics and personal finance challenges taught himto understand both his own and the world’s dealings withmoney.Each year, with more practice and more instruction underGHS teachers Christy Walker and Cindy McMullen, thisgroup continues to be competitive at the national level in botheconomics and personal finance. And as the saying goes, hardwork pays off. This past year, they placed fourth in the nationalpersonal finance competition, a feat that is incredibly hard toattain. Three of the four team members will be seniors thisyear which leaves one more year to compete and one moreyear to strive for that national title. However, as Henry DavidThoreau once said, “What you get by achieving your goals isnot as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”Although the national title would be great, what theseteam members have learned along the way will be muchmore valuable.
