WHY SHOULD YOU PURSUE ABM?

1.        A ticket to the corporate world.

During your school days as a ABM students, you will be having some thesis, business proposal, interviews, survey and research paper that will truly train you to be a critical thinker. It enhances our capabilities to resolve some problems in just short period of time. It makes us more responsible and more independent. Senior High School life is more different from Junior High School life. SHS will be the stepping stone to reality. With subjects like Applied Economics, Business Ethics and Responsibility, Accountancy, Business Math, and Principles of Marketing, you are trained to think big. Those who complete this strand will play an important role in the corporate world.

2.        For the kids who sold candies to their parents and relatives to feed their piggy banks!

Who knew selling candies would predict your future? When we are young, some of us experienced to sell candies, ice candy, sampaguita and others just to earn money. Even in a young age we want to earn money because we need it or rather we want it. But you know what, by simply selling those products with your parents, friends, and relatives or even to strangers will truly affect your future. It may serve as your experience that can make you a better person someday. This strand is best for students who would like to be businessmen, entrepreneurs, marketing/sales/financial managers and specialists.

3.        And, it’s time to sell more candies!

Well, not necessarily candies. As days passed by, we are getting bigger and older. If before we are just selling candies, sampaguita etc with our relatives, this time you can be better than you are before. Your products will surely improve. You can have now more customers and buyers. The quantity of your sold products will surely increase if you have an enough knowledge and perseverance. This strand will give you tips and information on how could you start your own business. In this strand, one of its activities is a Business Enterprise Simulation wherein you get to execute your own business plan.

4.        It’s not about the money.

Forget about Jessie J’s Price Tag for a second. ABM’s about the money! Obviously, if we start a business, our goal is to earn profit right? Upon computing debit and credit, it requires money right? In this strand, it will train us how to handle our saving properly, how can our money will grow, where can we use our money and how can we earn money. But don’t make it a habit that you are just working or studying for money. Don’t forget to enjoy and explore. Being in the ABM strand can lead you to become a banker, budget officer, sales agent, financial analyst, or an accountant.

5.        You don’t have to be a scientist nor a mathematician

Not part of your section’s top 10? Not an over-achiever? That’s definitely okay. My teacher said to us when we are Grade 10, “Hindi dahil achiever ka ngayong JHS ay achiever ka pa din sa darating na SHS. Maaring yung mga kaklase mong tutulog at tutunga tunganga lang ngayon e mas mahigitan pa ang mga achiever sa pagdating ng panahon.” It is a simple reminder to us that nothing is permanent in this world. You could be better if you work for it. You can be the best if your work for it. You don’t have to be HYPER intellectual to be in the ABM strand. All you need is your interest and passion!
