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.

Hey Hey Heyyy!   There are oh so many reasons why students should choose to come to Ohio Hi-Point. I don’t even know where to start! The biggest reason, I believe, is that you can earn a lot of college credits here at OHP. Who would turn down free college credits? Seriously!  Another reason is that OHP is so not boring.  I’ve said this so many times, but at OHP no day is typical. Every day is new and exciting. There are so many field trips, competitions, and college visits here.  You will never be bored here at Ohio Hi-Point. You meet new people from all the other schools every day! Coming to our career center builds you up as a person and really does create a great path to your future!

Hey Ya’ll! How have you been? I’m doing pretty good. Finally everything is starting to even out with my schoolwork, and I’m starting to catch up from my clinical experience last week. I want to start by telling you all about getting to go to Heartland and work last week for my clinical hours in lab. It was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done in my life. Finally getting to put everything we’ve learned in school into practice was a very rewarding feeling, because you realize that you can do it and you do have the ability to perform those skills in a real world experience. If we could, I would like to go to clinicals every week but I know we can’t and now it’s back to schoolwork and studying.

The thing I want to talk with you about today is why someone should choose to come to OHP. It’s a very simple question but one many people are afraid to face. The reasons why someone should come to Hi-Point far outweigh the reasons they shouldn’t. The first and biggest reason I think someone should attend Hi-Point is because of the experience they can acquire through their lab. When they graduate after two years they will have a skill that they will be able to use the rest of their lives and work with through college or whatever they choose to do. Aside from the skill you can get, some programs such as the Health Tech program offer college credits while still in high school, and I don’t know any reason why someone would pass up college credits while they are still in high school. One other reason I would say that someone should come to Hi-Point is the outstanding teachers. I can personally speak for Mrs. Purcell, Mrs. Donnelly, Mrs. Heitmeyer, Mrs. Sizemore, Mrs. Rofe, Mrs. Dearth and Mr. Lang and say that they are amazing teachers with all the ability, knowhow and desire to make you the most successful student you can be, and they are nothing but helpful with anything you need. So I would say that everyone should attend Hi-Point for many reasons because it can do nothing but benefit you.

YO!  What is up? It feels like forever since the last blog I’ve written! School has been extremely busy, like usual. The grading period is almost to an end and I just got a job, woot! So I’m trying to keep all my grades their absolute highest, while doing my best working. I hope all of your guys’ school year is going as smooth as mine!  On top of keeping up with all the new activities (so many activities! aha) in lab, I’ve had a ton of college meetings. I’m certain that I am going to college. I’m not exactly sure where or even what my major will be, but I’m going. I have thought super hard about joining the Air Force and becoming an Engineer.  I might go to OSU for undecided engineering or go out on a limb and move to New York for journalism, because I totally dig writing, and I would love to improve my sweet skill. So many choices!  I have a couple more months to get my brain together and decide, and I’ll let the right decision come to me.  The reason I am for sure going to college is because if I don’t, I will feel that I wasted my time at Ohio Hi-Point. Being a student at OHP, I’ve earned a lot of college credits. I have made a huge head start in my future and I don’t want to regret not fulfilling my dreams and goals. Have a happy Halloween fans! I’m out! Toodles!
