Hey Hey!  What’s goin’ on Hi-Point fans? Hope all is well your way ☺ I am in an incredible mood! I FINALLY finished my senior project in my lab. I seriously have so much stress off me now! My project was a beauty box. The thesis statement on my research paper was “Engineering and electronics benefit the 21st century woman’s goal of looking beautiful.” I had to prove my point, so I made a beauty box. This box is magical! It holds my straightener, my curling iron, my hair dryer, and all the other accessories that I have to use on myself in the morning while getting ready.  Of course I added diamonds and glitter…and painted it purple… It just wouldn’t be “Mikki” without it : ) Sweet, huh? Yeah!
So it feels as if I haven’t blogged, in like, forever. So much has been going on at OHP. Two weeks ago, I went to the SkillsUSA competition. I competed in the video product competition. I talked about how career-technical schools benefit our community, and our students. I didn’t place, but it was the first time I have ever done anything with video, so that’s my excuse, lol.  I had sooo much fun at Skills, though. We stayed in an awesome hotel, we swam, and went to a dance ☺ The best thing about Skills was when these rapper dudes sang a song titled “New Sneakers.” Five other kids and I, out of like 1000 people were the only ones who enjoyed this song. They wanted everyone in the audience to stand up and take their right shoe off and put it in the air. So we stood up and fist pumped with our shoes. Talk about fun, son!  Gladly, I’m one who loves attention, so I was happy all eyes were on me
Sad sad story… I gave my last tours last week ☹ It was the final time I will ever be able to talk to students about how great OHP is, and show them around the school. So I made sure they enjoyed their tour…and was able to teach the lovely Mercedes (other lead ambassador) how to give a fabulous tour, so that she’s ready for next year without us seniors.  : )  Everything is coming to an end for my senior year. I graduate in a month!  I do keep this quote in my head, though, “Graduation is not the end, it’s the beginning.” I like that, it’s perfect.   Bell just rang, so I will talk to you next week!  Ta ta for now!

Yesterday some fellow lead ambassadors and I went to Urbana University.  We were there to show some freshmen in Champaign County what Ohio Hi-Point is all about.  We started at 8 am, and when the freshmen came to our booth we told them about how many college credits they can earn, what programs we offer, and of course, how much fun it is to be there.
Some of the schools we saw were Urbana, Graham, Mechanicsburg and West Liberty-Salem.  We took tons of video and pictures throughout the day.  If you would like to check them out they are on Flickr and the Facebook page and will be on our YouTube Channel later this week.  If you are an incoming junior next year, I suggest you become a lead ambassador.  It is a lot of fun and you get to meet so many people.  Keep reading the blogs! I will talk to you later. Bye!
