Students at North Central Missouri College participated in a Reality Enrichment And Life Lessons simulation at the Ketcham Community Center on the NCMC campus on Monday. The REALL simulation was organized and facilitated by the Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri. The simulation models what life of a person living in poverty is experiencing to give students an understanding of what some people may be working through on a daily basis. During the simulation, students report to work, take children to daycare, pay bills, face challenges and survive during a month of poverty. “The REALL simulation provided students with an opportunity to experience real-life situations an individual in poverty may be going through,” said NCMC Criminal Justice Instructor Jenna Vandel. “Students learned about community support and how they may assist someone facing hardships.” Several members of the community and NCMC staff volunteered for the simulation, including Larry Adams, Joyce Eads, Ryan Vandel, Jenna Vandel, Anita Osborn, Derek Miller, Stefanie Dowell, Lori Holder, Megan Pester, Beth Caldarello, Sara Bird, Aaron Franklin, Sherry Hoerrmann, Ronda Eddy, Chasidy Boman, Gene Schleker, Debbie Cribb, Amanda Spencer, Harry Belvel and Traci Fields.
