8th and 10th Attend Reality U
by Emma Sawyer
ATTICA - On Friday, November 8, the eighth grade and sophomore students from Medicine Lodge Jr./Sr. High School were invited to attend an event called Reality U. Prior to the event, the students were asked to fill out a survey asking for their plans for their future families, such as if they wanted to be married, have children, or attend college, and then they chose a career and credit score based on their real-life GPA. The day of the event, the students who attended all boarded the buses early in the morning and made their way to Attica, where they were greeted by many people who had volunteered their to help make this event successful. The session lasted around an hour, with different booths where students who were partnered with another student (spouse) or who were single collected information and filled out a ledger recording their finances throughout a month. Every booth was something pertaining to finance, with booths for groceries, transportation, phone and entertainment, medical, and daycare, among others. Many students were surprised at how different their ideas of finance and the reality truly is. Eighth grade student, Colter Sawyer, remarked, “It was pretty interesting; I think I might change my future plan a bit.” The Reality U outing was organized by people from the Pando Initiative which intended to help students learn more about the financial standing they will have if and when they have the life that they dream of.
