What My Future Holds By Raquel Pointer Lesson Plan
College Requirements • In order to attend Vanderbilt University, I must do very well on my ACT/SAT and get very good grades in school because only about 33% of students who apply actually are accepted. Also, 80% of those accepted students are in the top tenth of their class, which makes my academic success in high school imperative.
Travel!! It has always been my dream to travel to Switzerland, which is shown in the above picture. I plan to travel abroad there in between my junior and senior year in college with the money funded by the job I will have in college.
Job/ Paying the Bills! As a teacher, the average income is $46,752. Based upon this, the following is the amount I would make per month and an approximate amount I would like to spend on bills: $46,752/ 12 months= $3896 $3896 -2500 (mortgage)= $1396 $1396 300 (car note)= $1096 $1096 - 300 (utility bills, car insurance, etc)= $796 I plan to have $796 left over for groceries and other personal expenses.
My House • Because I do not plan on having a family until I establish my career but do plan on having one eventually, I plan to stay in an apartment until I get more established. • Real Estate Website
My Car! • This is the car I want to have!
My Family • Unfortunately, I cannot predict what my future family will look like nor can I Google search “Raquel’s future family”; therefore, I can only speculate about the time around which I want to get married/ start a family since it is one of my goals. I plan on getting an education and establishing my career before starting a family.
What I Learned • From this project, I got an idea of what it is like to have to budget for yourselves, and this project made me more sympathetic towards what my parents go through to plan for the household. Also, it gave me a good idea of the range I will be able to live in with my future profession.
