3/ Habits
You are what you repeatedly do
I wish I took a class where we had to
Form a new good habit
Break a bad habit
The class would present tips, tricks, & discussion about how habits are formed and how to change them

4/ Investing
$100/month invested in the stock market for 40 years will make you rich
If I was taught this when I was 10, I would have started investing sooner

I wish I had a class where I had to write a paper on any subject of my choosing

I wish I took a class where I marketed school events to the community
Ex: Promote our schoolâs next basketball game
Learn to create flyers, put them in strategic places, and you were graded by many people attended the events

8 / Psychology & Decision Making
I wish I was taught about all of the ways that humans are bad decision-makers
It would have been eye-opening to go through historical examples of good and bad decisions, why they were made, and their outcomes

9/ Sales & Influence
Learning how to change other peopleâs mind is a critical life skill
I wish I took a class where we were all given items to sell and were then judged by how much we actually sold would have been great training
Maybe partner with the local Boy/Girl Scouts?

10/ Succinct Writing
Rather than a 5-page paper being the minimum
I wish I took a class where 250 words was the maximum
and we learned various techniques to make your point quickly
