Juggling school and work can be slightly difficult on many different occasions. All of your “high school plans” have to revolve around your work schedule. You have to make sure you are responsible and do your school work, and you have to make sure you are professional and responsible at your job.
I work at a local supply store in many different departments. The main departments I focus on are being a cashier, sales associate, and I work on computers to help me gain more experience in my field, which is information technology. It gives me plenty of experience on working with customers and computers all at once. While having to deal with customers and their satisfaction every day it prepares me for everything that OHP is trying to teach us. They teach us to be responsible and to ensure that you are doing everything you can to make your employer/ customer happy.

Hello everybody. It’s me again here to give you another blog. Anyway, coming to Hi-Point has really made me think about what I want to do with my future. In my lab we focus a lot on computers, programming, designing different electronic circuits. This has helped me to finally figure out what I want to do! I feel that college is not the choice for me right now. But I do believe I can start my own business. In what? Digital media is what that career is.  What this is pretty much is entertainment electronics. I hope to get into the movie aspect of this.  I have even started my company by making a few short vids. Hope I can get into the Sundance Film Festival sometime soon!  That is a competition where independent filmmakers come together to show their movies.

The most famous question you get asked your senior year: What are your plans when you get out of high school? It is getting time where I need to be deciding the answer to this question. I’m considering a couple different options. The first option I am looking into is going to a two-year college for business or spa management. I also plan to work in a salon part time while I am doing this. I am considering this option so that I always have something to fall back on. Business is something that is a plus in all careers. Also, if I want to own my own salon someday I will be able to have that experience under my belt. Another option I have been looking into is working at a bigger salon such as Kenneth Beauty Academy. This will help me to get further training in the cosmetology field and help to build up my cliental.

I once had plans to go to college, but then came the recession! I feel that since I graduate with my license in cosmetology, and since it’s basically what I want to do for the rest of my life, I’m going to pursue that first! I want to move around a lot and see the world! My dream is to live many places making my living doing hair on-stage and off! I want to get a taste of everything! Maybe someday when our government money situation gets a little better, I’ll go back to school for massage.  I just feel that I should take advantage of what Hi-Point has given me and start working ASAP! Jobs are tough to come by now-a-days, and I know that I have a job waiting on me now at Trade Winds Day Spa here in Bellefontaine. Jackie Smith (owner) is a great woman and has already taught me a lot just while I go visit mom at work. Also my dad just moved to Mississippi because he was having trouble finding a HVAC job around here. He got a job in the Hard Rock Casino! He says it’s really sweet, and that they have a day spa in the casino that has my name all over it! Moving to Mississippi wasn’t on my agenda, BUT IT IS NOW!!!

I’m sure that no matter where I go in life, I will always come back home and remember what school gave me this GREAT opportunity! THANK YOU HI-POINT!!!!
