19. From National DECA President, Morgan
Thompson
You should get involved in DECA because it will
change your life. Not only do you gain skills
that will make you stand out in for any job or
position, it gives you amazing experiences you
can't find anywhere else. I've gotten to travel the
world with some of the most fun people I've ever
met. None of that would have been possible
without DECA. Taking a chance and joining will
be the best decision you could possibly make in
high school. And in few years from now, when
you are the one standing up giving this
presentation, you will see why.
