ReplyDeleteThis is a real great opportunity for us, and I have learned a lot that I didn't even know before so I really appreciate this internship.
ReplyDeleteThis class has been very informative and I have been learning a lot in the few days that I have been in the class. It's a good environment.
ReplyDeleteMy first day here was amazing! I had plenty of homework but i learned so much about banking!
ReplyDeleteI have earned very useful insight on how a bank operates, and its various forms of income, as a future banker, this knowledge will follow me through my career and assist me in times of need.

ReplyDeleteI feel very privileged that i got offered this amazing opportunity to be part of the Future Bankers Camp and Im eager to see the outcomes of this amazing experience.
ReplyDeleteIm so excited about going to work in Ocean Bank !! This is an AWESOME opportunity !!!
ReplyDeleteMy first day was an experience to remember because it was difficult to go home and study when i knew that I had chores to do. So, I stayed up till about 11:30pm that night. Now, its an natural trait to go home and do my chores then study; It helped me manage my time more wisely.
ReplyDeleteawesome opportunity :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting experience. It is expanding my knowledge on the banking industry.
ReplyDeleteexcelent job
ReplyDeleteI was excited to start the FBC program and be able to participate in all the activities. Im happy a chose to pick the program.

ReplyDeleteI'm grateful to be participating in this wonderful program
ReplyDeleteMy first couple of days at the Future Bankers Camp has been encouraging. The students here are friendly and easy to work with as well as the professor. This program has made me ready for college.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying all of the wonderful new things that I'm learning. The one trouble I had was finding my way to the campus but I got to explore the Miami-Dade Transit System.
ReplyDeleteGo Future Banker's Camp Summer 2013!
Today I went to BB&T for our skit, and they were very polite, although since they were only a smaller branch office, they didn't have anyone that specialized on our topic, the associate did his best to assist us and give us the information we needed.
ReplyDeleteI definitely learned today that no two banks are the same. I went to visit two banks and Bank One was not what I expected, they were local but could not help me because they don't offer all the services I need. Bank Two was alot bigger but was able to help me gain the information I needed. Both atmospheres and personnel were totally different.
ReplyDeleteToday I visited Regions Bank and the teller was really nice and friendly. It made me want to ask him questions I didn't even have! He answered all my questions adequately and I realized that electronic banking is becoming more popular than actually visiting the bank.There were barely any people in the bank and they didn't have deposit slips because more people are doing transactions electronically now.
ReplyDeleteToday my group did a presentation on depositing a check. I learned that if you keep a calm attitude you can effectively perform a smooth transaction.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I learned about the type of customers and accounts Citi National Bank has. The representative was very polite and informative to me and my peers.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario today was very intersting. I like how in doing this we relate to real life bankers in the world.
ReplyDeleteThe Future Bankers Camp is exactly what I hoped it would be. Everyday involves different lessons, conversations, and experiences. Today was exciting because we all had to act out scenarios and dress up professional.
ReplyDeleteToday we learned about proper business etiquette. This was very helpful because we will all be interning in banks soon and it's important to learn what's appropriate and what is not appropriate in a professional setting.
ReplyDeleteThe online ABA program is a significant contributor to the proccess of understanding banking today. If you just read and take your time your bound to get 100% on every quiz.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed making the scenarios and acting them out, so I'm happy that they went well. I'm also glad I passed the midterm we took today. I've learned so much in this first week of Future Bankers Camp and it's just great.
ReplyDeleteThe Future Bankers Program teaches you how to be a professional banker and how to treat your customers.
ReplyDeleteI Was Hear Early This Morning With Albert Talking About Our Presentation.
ReplyDeleteWhen doing the bank scenario's it was fun and a great way to learn how to work with other people you don't know. My groups video was a success
ReplyDeleteI learned so much about my bank (Popular Community Bank) when I was doing my powerpoint.
ReplyDeleteOn Friday, we all did bank scenarios. I really enjoyed them, acting out as if we were really bank associates. So far the past week I have gained knowledge that will help out in the future towards banking.
ReplyDeleteToday i learned that i have a easy going and easily adaptable personality, thanks to the shape i picked.
ReplyDeleteIn today's class I learned what shapes describe personalities and I'm circle.
ReplyDeleteIn class I learned that I'm a circle in personality traits and a circles are understanding, good listeners, patient, and helpful and I have those personality traits.
ReplyDeleteI found out that i am an square personality person today and i Learned how to treat others, specially my bosses, in a common ground. Also the power point professor porges showed us was very instructional and i liked it a lot>
ReplyDeleteI thought it was so cool how professor West described our personalities with shapes THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was really interesting to learn that shapes could describe our personalities, and because we're talking about dress codes in class I'm becoming more excited to work at the bank next week.

ReplyDeleteI learned a lot from watching my friend's presentations and i think i am prepared to present tomorrow and do my best in fromt of the class. I am alse ready to take notes in my classmates presentations to learn a bit more about their banks.
ReplyDeleteToday during class I realized that women play a huge role in our society and that it is up to us to promote them to pursue careers in Business. While students presented their Bank Power points I realized very few women hold high-ranking positions in the Banking Industry. What a shame! There has to be a change.
ReplyDeleteToday I enjoyed watching my friend's presentations and I learned about other banks, and their financial situation.
ReplyDeleteToday we were visited by an advisor from Miami Dade's Wolfson Campus School of Business. We learned about the various programs that Miami Dade offers for business majors and the credits and classes that are required for the business majors. It was very informative and helpful.
ReplyDeleteWatching presentations from my classmates was very helpful because I was able to learn from their mistakes and improve my powerpoint. And even though some of the units in our new workbook are pretty long, I must admit the information is very informative and will definitely help me once I start to work at the bank.
ReplyDeleteWatching the video on the things leading up to the financial crisis of 2008 was very helpful as it taught me more about an important event.
ReplyDeleteToday we are going to finish watching the video dealing with the bank crisis of 2008. The video has been very informative and I learned that the banks are "too big to fail". So instead a larger bank will buy a smaller one and assume their debt, and this is the reason that small community banks have started to disapper being replaced with branches of larger banks.
ReplyDeleteFBC 2013!
Yesterday was really fun. I got to see my classmates presentations on Wells Fargo, and other banks. I learned a lot on the history of all the bank presentations I saw; I also presented my own powerpoint on Bank of America. After lunch we continued watching a video that dealt with the financial crisis of 2008. I understood it better after watching the video.
ReplyDeleteToday were presenting the rest of our power point projects so far their presentations have been awesome and very informative
ReplyDeleteToday I learned the basics on what to do if a robbery were to happen at a bank. It was very interesting on all the special types of bills they use for robberies.
ReplyDeleteToday i learned that if a fire was to happen at a bank, your first priority is to concern everyones safety. This includes your own, your co-workers as well as your customers.
ReplyDeleteToday i learned more information on my bank aswell as many others in the community thanks to the group presentation that was assigned.
ReplyDeletetoday i presented my bank power point, although i was very nervous at first, i was able to pull through, i learned a lot about the bank i will be interning at, and hopefully, as did my fellow classmates. it was an interesting and good educational expirience.
ReplyDeleteToday in class we had study hall and we read unit 7 in the "Today's Teller" book and I learned about the different procedures incase of a bank robbery.
ReplyDeleteThe librarian, Adria Leal is of great help when it comes to the Powerpoint presentation pertaining to the bank, talk to her and she will give you an abundance of information to include. Also, don't fall in debt, that's bad.
ReplyDeletethis has been a good experience , because we learned things interesting , we learned too about the banks , the theachers provide interesting classes
ReplyDeletetomorrow for me to make the power point presentation , i'm nervous
ReplyDeleteawesome scenarios guys , good job !!!!

ReplyDeleteToday class was extrememly exciting! I got to see some more presentations on banks such as Sabadell Bank, Citi Bank, and Suntrust. I also got to see City National Banks presenation, which happens to be the bank I'm interning at next week. From the powerpoint I learned taht the bank was founded in 1946 by Leonardo L. Abess SR. Currently their CEO is Jorge Gonazalez.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice knowing about the different types of banks that my FBC classmates had to presents learned about banks I didn't even know they existed :)
ReplyDeleteit was nice knowing where I would be reporting to on the first day of my job!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is our final class because on Friday we are going on a field trip to the Federal Reserve. How it's our last class we will be having a test about the book we've been studying "Today's Teller". Best of luck to all Future Banker's on the test so none of us have to stay after class on Friday to retake it. Also we will be having cake that Connie will be bringing. Yea cake! THANKS!

Right after, Ms.Connie Laguna came in with a cake to congratulate us on finishing the course, and that was pretty amazing too.

ReplyDeleteWe just got back from the federal bank. It was unbelievable, the amount of money there is incredible. We saw how people were processing the money and loading them into bags. It was very fun and educational field trip, we all enjoyed it very much
ReplyDeleteThe federal reserve was very interesting, they showed much of the information that we have studied in class. I'm actually think of pursuing a job at the FED.
ReplyDeleteThe Federal Reserve field trip was AWESOME. I'm going to miss all of the future bankers.
ReplyDeleteToday we went to the Federal Reserve and that was so much fun! We learned some more history on the Federal Reserve, its purpose, and our guide clarified the difference between monetary policy and fiscal policy. My classmates and I saw how the workers processed the money and how they load all the money into specified bags. We also got a sneak peek at the vault, and the amount of money was incredible! In the end, the trip to the Federal Reserve was very educational as well as fun!

ReplyDeleteGoing to the Federal Reserve and learning about the Fed and seeing all of the money was amazing! I really enjoyed myself and I learned so much.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the Federal Reserve Bank Branch in Miami was the highlight of the FBC program! I enjoyed learning how money got processed. The Future Banker's Camp was an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
ReplyDeleteWorking at the bank is so much fun! My mentors are great and helpful, but the funnest part has to be working at the branch with the tellers, so far so good
