SHAWNEE, Okla. (KFOR) - Some students in Pottawatomie and Seminole Counties got the chance to learn some life lessons at a young age. They took on some simulated adult responsibility to learn what it’s like to network, budget and pay bills. So, class was still in session Monday morning, but it wasn’t ordinary classroom instruction. It’s called Life Launch. Sophomores from 8 different high schools ventured outside their halls to FireLake Arena where all of them learned what it’s like to be an adult. Life Launch event.

Students go from station to station doing different activities including networking. Sometimes they play through real life scenario’s with a job title, a certain income and having to budget for the month. "I'm learning as I go,” Earlsboro student Payten Gentry said. Gentry said she learns a lot of financing and budgeting from her mom. While a bit overwhelming, she said it’s still a big help. "I get a little nervous,” Gentry said. “But this definitely helps me out and I'm glad we have this." “It’s pretty cool to see how it all works,” Shawnee student Jack Timmons said.

They both said it’s a bit weird to think they’re so close to being out on their own. This event gives them a further peek into that future as well as the tools to handle it. “I think it’s a good experience for all of us,” Clements said. The event took place Monday will take place again on Tuesday.
