How it all started…...
ABOUT
My name is Sanjana Ramakrishnan and I am currently a high schooler in California. I love dancing, singing, playing badminton, and learning about the stock market in my free time.
My journey with Finance4Youth started during my freshman year of high school. As a freshman, I didn’t really know “how high school worked” and so I wasn't really involved in anything. However, one day I got a letter saying I was voted in my school to be a part of Hope Squad. I wasn’t doing much extra curricular activities at the time so I decided to give it a go. Looking back on it, joining Hope Squad was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has prompted me to stretch my horizons and be the best version of myself today. I am currently a proud member of the National Hope Squad Council. Being a Hope Squad member has changed my life.
Hope Squad was founded by Dr. Gregory A. Hudnall to reduce the number of suicides among students from elementary to high school. Hope Squad members are trained to identify suicide warning signs and how to get a student help if they are exhibiting these signs. As a Hope Squad member, I am constantly interacting with students in an effort to make everyone feel part of a community and so I can help more students.
One peer who really struck a chord with me was struggling due to his family's financial issues. Due to his home life, he wasn’t performing well at school, isolated himself from his peers, and felt there was nothing he could do to help his parents. His struggles prompted me to learn and educate myself on how teenagers can help their parents with finances. His situation inspired me to invest time in helping all those who are tackling financial issues at a young age, instead of living their teenage lives to the fullest.
By taking my passion for finance and my will to help those who need a little more hope I created Finance4Youth. On this website I will be posting informative blogs monthly, that contain information about finance. My mission is to help and educate all the teenagers who are looking for a way to help their parents with finances or just looking to learn more about finance!
