JA Economics for Success

Friday is almost here! That is when I will be teaching my first Junior Achievement Session at Landon Middle School. I am ready to introduce myself to the students and try and make a good first impression.

The program, Economics for Success, is about learning practical information about personal finance and the importance of education and possible future careers based on individuals' skills, interests, and values. As a student, it is important to learn about these because they help us find a profession that we can be passionate about. Some people are interested in sports, reading, math, serving, selling, fixing, and all sorts of other skills and activities. Any or all of these  could be a key part of who or what we will be in the future.

 I think these lessons are a very fun way to learn about educational goals, and a great way to see what kinds of careers these young people might be interested in doing one day.
