  1. Hi, guys.
  2. My name is Rachel, and my innovation idea for a
  3. project is bringing back the study of home economics for
  4. high school students.
  5. My proposal is setting up in organization with a team
  6. of professionals who can teach yearly seminars at high schools.
  7. I personally did not go to college right out of
  8. high school.
  9. I waited and I worked in the workforce for a
  10. while, and I moved out of my parents about a
  11. year after I graduated.
  12. Through this process, I learned how under prepared I felt
  13. for adulthood.
  14. Outside of the academic setting.
  15. Studies show that there are a lot of people like
  16. me. Over half of high school students do not graduate
  17. high school feeling ready to enter into the workforce.
  18. Although valuable life skills air developed through academic development, there
  19. is a clear opportunity to set our local adolescents up
  20. for better success.
  21. Whether students choose a path towards college or head straight
  22. for the workforce or even the honest work of home
  23. making and raising a family, there is so much to
  24. be learned about day to day skills that will help
  25. each and every student have a steadier launch into adulthood.
  26. bringing in a team of professionals to teach fundamental knowledge
  27. for car ownership.
  28. Homemaking and personal financial management could set many students up
  29. on a much better path, especially ones without support systems
  30. at home outsourcing alleviate schools of extra full time staff
  31. and students of classes that they cannot fit into their
  32. demanding schedule.
  33. With the support of parents, teachers, investors at a university
  34. level and students themselves.
  35. I think this yearly program could really make a difference
  36. for a local high school students as well as the
  37. people who love and know them best.
  38. Thanks for listening to my idea.
  39. I'm really looking forward to working on this project with
  40. all of you guys.
