INA, Ill. (March 24, 2017) - Local ninth and 10th graders visited Rend Lake College this week to attend "Kickstart Your Journey," an event designed to get freshmen and sophomores thinking about college. The students attended several sessions while on campus, focusing on higher education, goal setting, dual credit and dual enrollment opportunities, and financial aid.
Avery Potter, CENTER, and Mason Wills, RIGHT, both from Benton Consolidated High School, count out money during the Reality Store session of Kickstart Your Journey. As part of the session, the students were given a randomly-drawn career based on an education level, which mirrored the Game of Life. Each student visited 14 different booths located in RLC's Waugh Gymnasium during the session. Click on the image for a larger view.
