Three Jordan High School sisters founded a program, Mission Possible, that is educating local teens on practical life skills. These free workshops prepare students to learn many skills that are often being lost today.
It all started when Jordan High School senior Meera Ravindran got her driver’s license. A simple realization turned into a project that has served over 100 students and has plans to continue serving this community and beyond.
“I realized that earning my driver's license wasn't just about knowing the rules of the road, but it also meant understanding how a car works and what to do if something unexpected happened,” explains Meera. “Questions like how to change a tire, what to do after an accident, or how to handle a roadside emergency suddenly became very real.”
Her realization led to some meaningful conversations with her two sisters, Tara and Sara Revindran who are sophomores at Jordan High School.
“We realized these were practical skills that many teenagers, and even many adults, don't learn until they're faced with the situation themselves,” says Meera. “That sparked a bigger conversation: if there were important life skills we weren't learning before we needed them, there were probably many others as well.”
From there the sisters launched Mission Possible. They reached out to a local automotive shop, who agreed to partner with them for their first cat maintenance and roadside safety workshop.
But the sisters didn’t stop there. They have now hosted workshops on self-defense and financial literacy. There next workshop will be on pediatric health and wellness.
Mission Possible workshops are free and open to everyone in the community. Families and students can learn about these opportunities by following them on Instagram and look for info on local Katy-area Facebook groups including groups associated with Jordan High School.
“Our long-term goal is to make Mission Possible a sustainable initiative that equips teenagers with the practical life skills they need to confidently navigate adulthood,” says Meera. “We hope to expand our workshops to reach more schools and communities, collaborate with additional local businesses and professionals, and continue developing new topics based on the needs and interests of students and families.”
Another priority for the organization is ensuring it remains sustainable after Meera’s graduation this year. Her sisters, Tara and Sara will continue to lead the group at Jordan High School and they hope to mentor other groups as Mission Possible grows within the Katy community.
“Our hope is that Mission Possible becomes something that lasts well beyond our time in high school and continues serving future generations of students,” says Meera.
Both Meera and Tara Ravindran plan to pursue careers in healthcare. Meera plans to major in Biochemistry and Tara plans to go into public health. They both hope to find ways to bring healthcare to underserved communities. Sara hopes to major in political science with the goal of becoming a lawyer.
Creating Mission Possible has shown Meera and Tara that they don’t have to wait to become doctors to make a difference now. Sara has learned the importance of listening to the community’s needs and to work together to create meaningful opportunities that make a positive impact.
“Our goal is to keep growing while making our workshops easy for students to attend and actually helpful in real life,” says Meera.
