text: Distance learning being at easy access to all students is the next reason for why it should be offered. One of the requirements of graduation that a student must meet at Generic_School is completing a personal finance course at some point in their high school career. In order to meet my requirement I chose to complete the course online during the summer while I visited my grandmother in Generic_City. Being able to take the course online was ideal for me because I was able to work on it at anytime I desired, for I always had an accessible device on hand that I would take out whenever I had time to spare on the course. Distance learning was not only beneficial to me on those hot summer days, but also in the case of a harsh winter storm that led to an extended period of closed school. Since the Generic_School, the school I attended while living in Generic_City, chose to change their curriculum to it being offered via an electronic device, my homeroom teacher, Generic_Name, was able to continue our lessons easily during the three week long break due to the harsh snowstorm. Each student was able to access the the proper programs at home where they completed the assignments from the comfort of their beds. When it was time to return to school, the distance learning helped keep us on schedule, and we ready to continue from where the online classes left off. Distance learning is equally beneficial for the teachers as it is for the students because it can be offered in response to a situation occurring that is unplanned for.
