On My Own


How many time have you though, "As soon as I turn 18, I'm outta here!!" Well, 7th grade 4-Hers at CCMS are getting a chance to put those thoughts into action as we continue with our activity called On My Own. Everyone has taken a personality survey to see what personality type they were dominant in. Then everyone got to choose a career based on their personality. Yesterday and next week we learned the difference between gross and net pay!! Welcome to the real world - Ha! For some of us, learning about all the deductions was a shocker! Federal taxes, state taxes, social security, medicare, 401K, and insurance??? It's a wonder there is ANY money to bring home!
