38、t to raise awareness about illegally shooting animals in the park.Garamba is Africa s second oldest national park and has been hit hard by illegal shooting in recent years.

45、ble to pay back. Without proper educati on on pers onal finance, especially as it relates to paying for college, young adults are guided into improper loan plans that result in years of debt after graduation. In order to set stude nts up to succeed finan cially, it is importa nt to educate stude nts

46、 and pare nts on their financial options before school in the fall. The best way to support families headi ng for college is to require that every high school stude nt take a pers onal finance class before graduation.This will help smooth the transition into adulthood.The average student takes out a

47、t least one loan to cover the costs of their education each year. In 2014 the average student graduating from college carried a negative bala nee of about $20,000 in debt, which ofte n spread over multiple len ders. Upon graduati on, stude nts rarely know exactly how much money they owe, and eve n t

48、hough they are in the state of being unable to pay their debts, they cannot wipe out student loans. These students spend much of their adult lives paying off the gradual increasing debts.A pers onal finance course would teach stude nts how to man age their in come andexpenditures,while helping to si

49、gnificantlyreduce the amount of debt students carryinto adulthood. By teach ing stude nts how to save money and live with in their mea ns,this course will provide the next generation with a foundation to progress financially. Students choosing to get a job straight out of high school would also bene

50、fit from finance education for these very reasons. With education on how to manage their finances, all young people will have the knowledge to make healthy decisions, leading them to improve good credit and purchase needed items like cars and homes with skill and confidence.While not every young per

51、son makes financial mistakes, those who do can face years of difficulty trying toget their finances backunder control. Rather than help themthrough these hard times when they happen, we should try to prevent them from happening at all. Making the completion of personal finance coursework a requireme

52、nt for graduation would ensure that young people are at least aware of the basics of preserving a financial stability.67. After graduation from college, many young people .A. struggle to support their families B. spend years paying off their debtsC. get through the hard times smoothly D. are able to
