Work: Build a Life
Class: Junior Seminar
Teacher: Ms. Lindsey and Mrs. Wilson
For a few weeks I worked on “Build A Life Project.” I created a google slides and spreadsheet that went over finances for after I graduate college. This project corresponds to Finical, Economic, and Business Literacy Skills because I demonstrated an understanding of being prepared to make appropriate financial decisions. I am proud about everything I learned and did in this assignment because I applied myself to designing the future of my dreams and making/learning a plan that will make that possible. I developed my Finical, Economic, and Business literacy skills by learning about budgeting. I now know costs including education, cars, insurance, cell phones, and other utilities based on the estimated amount of income I will make from my career choice. The most difficult part of this assignment was feeling overloaded. At one point I got scared that my future would hold an enormous amount of debt. I now Know that if I budget, my life doesn’t have to be that way. I wouldn’t change anything I did about this project because I feel like I did a good job learning and creating a final product. I am proud of the information I have learned from this project and will be able to apply this information for the rest of my life. This project relates to other projects because I made a goal to learn about new information and then create a product that shows what I have done with those studies. I can apply this project to future learning by possibly teaching others about why budgeting is instrumental and I myself can continue to learn about what is best for my life to be able to live comfortably.
