Mid-February 2023 Ramp-Up
Opportunities, Mindset Insights, Financial Literacy Tips, and Scholarships for school, your career, and beyond.
January and February so far can be summed up as jam-packed (busy, in a good way). However, I’m glad to hear about more acceptance letters, scholarships, and generally, a sigh of relief as exams pass and a new semester begins.
Without further ado, here’s your mid-February delivery of Opportunities, Mindset Insights, Financial Literacy Tips, and Scholarships for school, your career, and beyond.
If you're enjoying this newsletter, I hope you consider sharing with your friends.

Financial Literacy
Taxes and investing are just two things I wish school taught me. Not to say that what I learned didn’t serve a purpose. Also, there are only so many hours in a school day, and resources are limited. But, I do wonder how much further ahead I’d be if I knew then what I know now.
This brings me to 2 personal finance/financial literacy books I’ve started reading:
"The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel
"8 Things to Do When You Turn 20" by Debotosh Chatterjee
This highlighted section from “8 Things to Do When You Turn 20” is something I think students and personal finance beginners might agree with.
Have you read these books?
Not sure how to plan your weekly study schedule?
I’ve created a “study with me” video resource to guide you through how I schedule a week of tests, assignments, appointments, and social events.
If you are or know a student who wants support planning a week of tasks, I hope this resource helps.
To your success,
