        Example of project

• 2^nd Quarter Project – Real World Project

        1. This project should be split into 3 separate sections

            a. High school graduate living on your own

"In this section the student will be required to find an occupation, a home and a way to pay for school   and other expenses.  No other help will be allowed (don't say my mom gave this to me!)"

            b. College or trade school graduate

"This includes all types of graduate education or higher level.  All loans that were not paid off in part 'a' for schooling must be included here.  You must once again find an occupation, a home and a way to pay for all expenses, ex. car, electric, water, etc."

            c. Graduate and married/partnered

"This section brings two individuals together, you are now accountable for anther person other than yourself, the pair must decide on where they will live, what kinds of cars they will drive and distribute the finances in a manner that is fitting for each individual.  In this part of the project you can add children, pets, extravagant homes or any other personal choice items.
