If I had to look back and describe my senior year I would say it was a vanishing act because I honestly don’t know where it’s gone. People always tell you that your senior year of school will be the fastest year of your life and you always look at them, laugh and say yeah right but in the end I guess they were all right. I have enjoyed every second of my senior year. It wasn’t always fun with all the projects and homework, but looking back I can’t really think of one thing that I would do differently if given the opportunity. All I can say for everyone that is heading or will soon be heading into their senior year is take in every moment and take advantage of every opportunity and never let a good memory slip past. After I graduate I will be starting my first college class in the summer because it will be a pre-requisite for my nursing clinicals, which I will start in the fall at Clark State Community College. I will be going there for the next two years in hopes of obtaining my RN licensure so I can hopefully continue my education even further. OHP has tremendously helped me for the future, it has prepared me to go directly into the field of study that I want to, I am so far ahead of the game with all of the knowledge and practical experience that my lab has given me and I know that the advantage I’ve gained from my time at Hi-Point puts me in the driver seat for my future. So if I can leave you with one bit of advice it would be take full advantage of every opportunity for knowledge because one thing you pass up might be one thing you never have a chance to learn again. Thanks for reading and until next time enjoy life to the fullest.

I can’t believe this will be one of my last blogs, and that this is one of the last ones some will read. My senior year was more than I had ever planned for myself. I always pictured senior year being great, but it was a lot more than that. I’ve been given many opportunities this year that have made the year worthwhile. I’m headed off to Rhodes State Community College to receive my Registered Nursing license. Then I’ll be transferring to get my Bachelors in Nursing. How’d Ohio Hi- Point help me?

Honestly, I’d be so far behind if I wouldn’t have came to Hi-Point. OHP has put me far ahead of the other seniors in my graduating class from my home school. In order to get into the coursework part of the Nursing program, there is core work that needs finished in order to take those classes. Part of the core work is a computer class, in which my whole lab took at Hi Point, in which I passed. Another part is the State Tested Nurses training, in which I passed back in November with OHP. Both tests were completely free for me take, and usually costs over $500. This means out of the core work that Rhodes requires, I only have one class to take in order to get into the Nursing coursework. Out of five requirements I had all except one. I would’ve had the last one, if my COMPASS score would have been a little higher. I had almost every requirement because of Ohio Hi-Point Career Center. I will never be able to thank this school enough for giving me the amazing opportunity that I received. I not only got a great head start to the future, but I feel more prepared than I ever have for college. Out of the schooling I’ve had, OHP was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and was the very first step for my Nursing career. And as I get older, I’ll never forget what this school has done for me.

As senior year comes to a close, I think about the others that are thinking of coming to Hi-Point, and I’m a strong advocate for that choice. I hope everyone enjoys their summer, be safe, and careful! And don’t forget about the very FIRST bloggers (:

My senior journey has been great. I’m not entirely sure I want to move on past OHP, though. This year has been full of great things. I got to go on trips for Business Professionals of America and placed at state. I have had a blast being a lead ambassador. I will miss getting to do so much. As a senior, I am glad the time has come to say goodbye, but then I’m not so sure. I will miss my friends. Once I have convocated I will be attending UNOH (University of Northwestern Ohio) for Business. I am hoping to start in business and move to a dual major in marketing. I am hoping this will all go well.
OHP has helped me greatly. Coming here helped me find what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. This has helped me prepare to attend college and even get me some college credit that will transfer to my school. OHP was a great way for me to prepare for the future. I have learned the basic knowledge I need to know for my career in business. I have earned Microsoft Certification. These will help with future jobs. Overall OHP I believe was the best way to prepare for my future.

It has been too long since I’ve had a chance to write to you all, but now I’m back and here to share my experiences with the college process. The first thing I had to do was pick out the colleges that I thought I should apply to, which included the ones that I could transfer my credits from Hi-Point to and the ones that included a class in the health care field. I applied to Clark State Community College, Rhodes State, and Mercy College of Nursing. Applying to the college wasn’t a very complicated process as it just involved filling out their application form, sometimes submitting an official transcript and paying the usually small application fee. But what is like getting into college without having money? I for one can’t afford to pay my way completely through college without some help somewhere along the line, so scholarships are the way to go. Scholarship applications are somewhat alike but also different from college applications. They include all of the basic personal information, but usually include a written part where you state why you deserve this scholarship, and sometimes you have to get letters of recommendation to go along with them. But preparing for college is the biggest challenge of it all, because right now all I want to do is finish up my senior year and get to the summer, but I know in the back of my mind that I have to start preparing for college so when the time comes I’m not behind in the process. But no matter what happens, going to college is in my opinion the best thing to do, getting scholarships will be an immense help and preparing early is the best way to go about it.

We haven’t really been at school a lot this month. So much snow has caused all schools to close causing some of us to stay home and still continue to work. Although I haven’t been at school, I’ve been working more and more on my college options.  I’m trying to plan as far ahead as possible for my future. Being in Information Technology I plan to stay in that field of study when I leave for college this coming fall. I will be working mainly on Computer Information Technology with a degree in Network Administration. I’m very excited for my future and plan to stay on track to get there.

Well….we just had what seemed to be a “blizzard” in Logan County the last few weeks and were out of school for almost a week which was pretty sweet!! While at home my mom made me sit down and think of what I want to do when I graduate. My plans after high school right now are to attend Rhodes State College and major in Business Management so one day I can own my own salon. While going to college I plan on working in a salon to build up my clientele. I’m still undecided where, but as of right now that is my plan after I graduate.
The thing that I am really thankful for is having the opportunity of coming here. I am able to follow my passion and dream of becoming a hairstylist right after I graduate while also getting an associate’s degree in business. Ohio Hi-Point has really gave me the greatest opportunity in getting me on the right path, and I’m so glad I decided to come here!!

I’m back yet again! Everything at OHP has been going really good.  I have finished Macbeth in my English class. We were supposed to have a test, but that hasn’t happened yet becuse of all the snow days. My new class for the semester is called Success for College. This class is an online class through Owens Community College. We learn skills to help us succeed in college, prep for the ACT, and choose the right college for us. It is brand NEW this year at OHP. So far we have learned things about study skills.
In my government class we are studying civil rights. Ms. Oelker has just given us a huge assignment that will help us learn more aout the civil rights and all the events and importance of them, too.
Math…well is math. It has been going well we just learned about….well i dont know what it is called..but you get to create the formula for a something or other.
Business Administration Lab has been great! I just learned two weeks ago that I get to go to state for competition!! I won first place in two of the three competitions I was in. I get to go to state for Advance Spreadsheet Applications. The other compeition was Administrative Support Concepts. I placed first in that with over 70 people and it came down to how fast me and someone else took the test! I was so excited when I found out!!!
I’m sad that it’s my last year, but hey, I get to go out with a bang in BPA (Business Professionals of America) Region 16!
We have been working on starting medical coding in lab along with filing. We always have something to do. So far this month has been great! Between the snow days and all the good stuff happening…I hope it only gets better.
That’s it for this blog, but i’ll write again soon!

It feels weird getting back into writing blogs once again! Christmas break helped a lot with the senioritis that I’ve been feeling here lately.
I counted down today, and there is officially, 17 weeks of high school left!  I can’t believe how far I’ve come, and what I’ve accomplished.  I’ve been thinking a lot about Convocation here at Hi-Point.  I’m really going to miss all the teachers and friends that I’ve made in the last two years.  Hi-Point was one of the best decisions I’ve made.  Looking back now, I wouldn’t change a thing.  I’ve got a huge head start on my career path, and I thank everyone in my life that has pushed me.
Here lately I’ve gotten really excited about college! I feel OHP has prepared me for the best, and I feel I’m as prepared as I could possibly be, thanks to this school   I suggest to the parents and students that follow our bloggers, to really give Hi-Point a chance.  It certainly helped and prepared me for the long run.
Since it’s January, we just started a new semester.  In lab, we’re preparing to become Patient Care Technicians. How great is that? I can’t wait to see what academics have to offer in the next few months.  Class of 2010 is so close to graduation! It’s pretty obvious what’s been on my mind lately!

New Year, New Outlook, New Goals! Boy, oh, boy has it been awhile! It’s nice to finally be able to write to you guys again. This year is going to be a big one,  and I can’t believe this is the last year I will ever spend in high school.
My goals this year are high, but my ambition as of right now is very low. I need to choose the college that I want to attend, and I need to start filling out applications all while staying on task with my schoolwork and continuing to keep my grades up.
I have also set some personal goals for myself, simple things such as eating healthier (maybe not so much fast food) and not being such a procrastinator. Working on my outlook is going to be the hard part of the new year.  I need to have a better outlook on school. Right now when I wake up every morning all I think about is how boring school is and how much I dread going. Kids (myself included) never seem to look on the bright side and see what an opportunity school is and what a great future it sets up for us, so one of my big goals for this year is to see the positives in school and not just the negatives as the year winds down. Hopefully I can attain my goals and finish out my graduating year with huge success and not crash and burn as the year winds down. Until next time!

Bring on the New Year!!!! That’s the way I feel about the new year coming up. I know it’s going to be busy and hard, but I’m as ready as I’m ever going to be. When we first come back from break the first thing we do is start studying for our exams, only to take them all the very next week. Starting with the exams ought to be an interesting way to “ease” back into learning after the break.
My goals for the new year are to keep doing what I’ve been doing. I plan on keeping my grades up and continuing to study while balancing my work schedule on top of it all. One of the first things I need to do is decide where I’d like to go to college at since there’s just so many places to choose from it’s hard to decide which one would be the best for me.
I also need to start thinking seriously about my senior project.  My thoughts about it are the sooner the better. The sooner I can get it finished the better it will be for me. I’m going to try and not let it sneak up on me. So this is what I plan on doing in the new year but as I’m sure you all know hardly anything ever goes as planned, so all I can do is prepare myself to take on whatever comes my way. Thanks for your time and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!!!!!!
