'I don't think it's taught in school very often,' said Bentley Moody. 'You know, how to have your own account and be financially independent as a high schooler. So I think it's a great opportunity for everyone.'Moody and his classmate Taha Guver are interns who work in the credit union and are members themselves. Both of them say it’s given them confidence.'Just being able to run it on my own,' he said.
