The Future Forward event started with a panel of local business leaders who talked about their companies and the opportunities for employment. The students broke into groups for breakout sessions where they could attend different classes, such as college information about grants, expense expectations, and financing options.
One particular session discussed the next step after high school which included real life situations such as: choices about a future house, car, marriage, children etc. Students were asked to think about how much money it would take to support and pay those expenses, and the income needed from their career to fund it.
A motivational speaker ended the day with a recap of all the information provided to the students. He challenged them to always strive for success and understand that you are the decider of your own future.
