PORTER COUNTY 8th GRADERS SAW THEIR FUTURE!

 

Envision Logo  

 

On March 17, Porter County students envisioned their future at the Porter County Expo Center.

 

This simulation game, in which students are projected to age 28, allows them to research and identify their career interests through their class curriculum, consider family size (marital status and number of children), and receive a mock checkbook with the monthly income entered for their specific career.

 

Students visited stations, manned by business volunteers, at which they paid their monthly bills. At each station, students had to make decisions concerning the standard of living they assumed.

 

The program focused on the monthly costs associated with rent/mortgage, utilities, taxes, insurance, childcare, and other living expenses such as food and clothing. The program also  included military information, in the way of earnings and allowances, if the student chose the military as their future option.

 

The event also included unexpected events such as unemployment, medical bills, and divorce. Students who go through these unexpected events had to visit an assistance station to seek counseling for legal, financial, or employment education issues.
