What Riordan Scholars Say About the Stock Market Analyst Competition 

Walter Garcia

San Fernando High School, 2010

"Being able to participate in this year's Stock Market Competition is a great privilege. The Stock Market Leaders, Paul Baranello, Patrice Greenwood- Eitner, and Jeff Kabot have motivated us to pursue a post-secondary education by giving us insight into the business world. They have taught us about how private and public owned companies operate. The knowledge that they impart to us has had an enormous impact on me. Knowing that there is someone, some organization that cares for me has encouraged me to continue pursuing exceptional grades. I am extremely lucky and honored to be a part of this program."

Carrine Johnson

"Being Yahoo!'s Stock Market Team Leader has been a rewarding experience. My team has taught me a lot about bringing together a group of diverse people. We may not be alike, but we've learned to come together, despite our differences, and work together as a team."
