(Milan, IN) – Ripley County 8th grade students received a taste of adult life Thursday at WRBI’s Reality Check at Milan Middle School.

The program offers the 8th graders a chance to learn what grownups experience.

Students were tasked with making choices, selecting careers, budgeting, and dealing with family issues, among other everyday facets of adult life.

It was the final Reality Check of the current school year.

The Ripley County was moved to Milan due the gym renovation project at Jac-Cen-Del Jr./Sr. High School.

In addition to the host school, students from Jac-Cen-Del, St. Louis and St. Nicholas participated.
