| Right to Left: Itancan, Elijah, and Tre learning about the offerings of LATI |
We made a simulation (fake/ pretend) passport before we went to the seminar. We had to get a signature from the person at the table after we introduced ourselves and listened to what they said.

| Michael did more pullups than any other student. Way to go! |
The Marines asked for volunteers to try pull ups. Nyton tried and did a few. Michael did nearly nine!! The Marines at the seminar talked a lot about being ready for challenges.

| William is learning about budgeting and finances. |
The morning group also had to gather information and ask questions to get ready for our poster project back at school. On Thursday and Friday we worked on the posters. We will put up a display in our hallway on next Monday so others can learn about adult life.
On Friday, we talked about our experiences. We talked about the most valuable parts and we also talked about what might make this event even more helpful for young adults.
Valuable:
- "role playing" with interviews
- how to manage money
- learning how much college costs
- not too crowded so we could talk with the people at the tables
Might make it more helpful:
- put everything in one place (not upstairs) because some of us didn't get up there and also if someone cannot get up the stairs it isn't fair to keep them out.
- the flyer had about 15 topics but there was only five or six tables (topics) so we couldn't get to the ones we wanted.
- For example, we wanted to learn about getting an apartment (housing options) and that wasn't at a table.
- the schedule was only in the morning so some kids could not come because their class was in the afternoon. It should be for both.
- It was mostly students getting special education services but a lot of (TZ) students need this information not just us.
