First of all I just want to mention what a great time I had at the Taste of the Future event on November 18. I got to talk to a lot of both the sophomores and their parents. I spoke to a majority of the college representatives and I asked them for their opinion of Ohio Hi-Point. They responded with only positive things about our school, its students and staff members. So good job to everyone who helped out Thursday and all of the potential students who made the Taste of the Future event possible.

Career-technical student organizations

Ok, now to answer some of the topics for my blog. I saw this first topic to write about and I was like what in the world is that :/ After really looking at it and trying to understand it I realized it was talking about all the organizations that OHP is a part of. I honestly don’t know of all the ones that OHP associates with. I do know that Electronics Engineering is in cooperation with Skills USA. Each individual lab is either associated with a different organization or the same as another lab. All organizations are the same however when it comes to the students. The purpose of these organizations is to help along with the career center to further develop the skills needed after school. For awhile when I first learned about my labs connection with skills I thought cool, something to get me out of school. I realized quickly that was the wrong idea. I have come to develop a deep love for both my school and Skills USA. The purpose of these organizations is none other than help the students succeed in life.

Professional development experiences

Ohio Hi-Point is all about allowing these opportunities to arise, professional means being suited for the task, showing and demonstrating the skills needed for that event. Blogging itself has been an opportunity in itself to learn these skills. As a blogger you must show that you are not afraid to talk to people and write about what you feel. The field trips we go on teach us how to behave and represent. When we attend a field trip, those people see us as representatives of OHP whether we are or not. The way I see it we as the students have the choice to make a good name or a bad name for our school. This prepares us for the real world when it comes to our jobs, as employee’s or employer’s we need to make a good representation.

My future without OHP

Something I have realized is that there is always a possibility that I may not end up working in electronics. Life is full of surprises that even the most successful people don’t expect. The only difference is that they are ready to adapt to that event. When it comes to imagining my future with out OHP my first thought was so what, if I don’t end up working in electronics then I don’t work in electronics. I then however realized that OHP isn’t just here to teach me about one certain profession. I have learned what it means to be able to talk to people, understand the many different types of teaching there are. The skills I learned from OHP are irreplaceable, my future still lies ahead in school but I know that without the skills OHP has given me the opportunity to learn, my future would definitely be heading in a different and probably worse direction.
