How valuable was your high school education?
I had two classes that I felt helped to prepare me most for life after graduation, Money Management and Entrepreneurship. I remember soaking up as much as I could, knowing the knowledge would come in handy one day. Since my 2009 graduation, life has been about everything I didn&#x27;t learn in school. How to compose a resume and prepare for job interviews, how to build credit, how to incorporate a business, how to achieve good health, etc. I can now vouch for the statement, &#x27;Google taught me more than school&#x27;. I didn&#x27;t go to college, but I am attending the university of life, where every course is self-taught.<p>After that sentence, some of you may itch to debate how much better off I’d be had I gone to college. That isn&#x27;t the point here.<p>Basic life lessons were not provided. Individuals are graduating high school, without a clue as to how to navigate the real world. Something is very wrong, and pushing for fundamental changes within an archaic educational system is a pipe dream.  I feel the best we can do is take change into our own hands and supplement the education of our youth.<p>So, I am looking for feedback for an idea of mine. An app, LifeLesson, where both students and graduates can go to view short video clips and&#x2F;or audio recordings on topics such as credit, business, health and so on. Content will be divided into two sections, experienced professionals and peers offering advice. There will be a feature that allows the student to add LifeLessons to a Notebook.<p>While available to everyone, I feel it is key to target individuals 17-25. They need it most and if that age bracket gravitates to it, I believe it would be a tremendous success. I haven&#x27;t yet worked out how it would generate revenue as my heart is in this and for the moment, money has to take a back seat.<p>I&#x27;m here for you to pick my idea apart. Please bring up anything that comes to mind.<p>If you&#x27;d like to discuss this idea with me privately, reach me at saphiresumpter@gmail.com.
