Arian @ Enriched Academy  — Risk, Gut Feelings & Smart Investing

Choose ONE question to answer:

1. Describe a small risk you’ve taken lately (in class, sports, or life). How did you check whether you were comfortable with the possible loss before acting—like Arian suggested?

2. Arian said gut feelings can guide big choices. Think of a time you had a strong gut feeling about something. What did you decide, and how did it turn out?

3. Arian accepts that risks sometimes fail. Share one thing you learned from a past “loss” and how that lesson could make your next decision smarter.

If you missed Arian…

Scenario: You’re offered a free spot in a weekend basketball showcase but you’ll have to skip a close friend’s birthday party. List one possible gain and one possible loss of saying yes. Decide which side weighs more for you and explain your choice.

Jamal @ Kickback — Defining Success & Goal-Setting

Choose ONE question to answer:

1. Jamal mixed what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what pays. Pick one hobby or skill of yours. Briefly map it on Jamal’s four parts and see if it could become a “dream job.”

2. Goal Ladder: Share your big dream (5–10 years away). Now list one daily habit and one weekly action that would realistically move you up the ladder toward it.

3. Balanced Success: Jamal warned that money alone or passion alone can feel empty. Describe a career that might pay well but fail to meet two of the other three parts. Why might that be unsatisfying?

If you missed Jamal…

Scenario: Imagine you love art, you’re great at encouraging friends, your school needs peer tutors, and tutoring can pay a small fee. Sketch a quick plan that combines all four to create a mini “dream job” for yourself this semester.

Money Lab Reflection

(a) Tell a short story of when you showed leadership or strong teamwork. What did you do, and how did it help the event run smoothly?

(b) Share one realistic change you’d make to your own approach—or to the event itself—to make it even better.

If you missed the event...

Think of another recent situation where you helped organize or teach others (a basketball drill, class project, family chore). Answer the same two parts above, using that example instead.
