Money. Some love it. Some might hate it, but regardless, it\u2019s undeniable the power it has on the world today.<\/p>\n
From getting groceries to renting an apartment or even getting a snack before that 12 pm class, you usually need money to do it. With the thought of money, there comes many thoughts. People want to know how they can obtain it, spend it or maybe even keep it. Regardless, learning more about money and how to deal with it is always a good choice.<\/p>\n
On January 26th of this year, RCTC held a Student Life event through Zoom called, \u201cMoney Isn\u2019t Scary.\u201d Rachel Sheerin facilitated this event and was willing to help those who wanted help with some money questions.<\/p>\n
During the session, Sheerin put a big emphasis on remembering that money isn\u2019t this big scary monster that many believe it to be and that how you perceive money shouldn\u2019t negatively define you. Especially in educational environments like colleges, money is a huge topic. It\u2019s easy to let yourself get consumed by the thoughts of tuition, rent and money for food.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, it\u2019s also important to be able to take that step back and let yourself breathe from the stress,\u201d said Sheerin.<\/p>\n
Her Zoom session included her own personal experiences with money, and she was excited to see the similarities and differences she shared with the audience. The session focused on helping students understand money\u2019s place in their worlds.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not supposed to know. You\u2019re not behind,\u201d said Sheerin.<\/p>\n
She made it clear that it is okay to be unaware and full of questions about money, and she wanted\u00a0\u00a0 an open, safe environment to make it easy for the audience to ask questions.<\/p>\n
RCTC\u2019s Student Life\u00a0 offers events like this to go to on a variety of topics. If you are interested attending one, make sure to visit the Student Life page on the RCTC website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
