We honored this year’s bloggers at a special breakfast event this week.  While Shelby, Jason and Olivia will return for their senior years as bloggers next year, we had to say goodbye to our seniors.  Most of them were on-hand (except Ashley K. and Mica).  They really did some awesome things this year and will always be remembered as the FIRST Ohio Hi-Point Career Center student bloggers and the first to document their journey as part of the Hi-Point Journeys campaign.

The seniors had their final step on the journey of their high school careers last night when Ohio Hi-Point held their Convocation ceremony. Here’s photos of some of our bloggers at the ceremony.

We congratulate our senior bloggers: Daniel, Taylor, Mica, Mikki, Ashley B., Shana, Ashley K.,  Michael, Samantha, Rebekah.  Best wishes on the next part of the journey.

Helllooooo everyone!!! I’m here to give you another blog from the mind of Taylor. 2010 has started off great. In my CP English 12 class we just got done reading Shakespeare’s Macbeth. At first I thought this was going to be just another Shakespeare story that would put me asleep. It is about a man who kills a king to become king, but he ends up destroying himself in his own way. I will not ruin it for you if you have to or want to read it sometime. I was wrong it was actually a very good story.
In my physics class we have been building trebuchets/catapults for a competition.  As you can tell I have been very busy, but it is a fun busy.
In my lab we have been learning more about computers. Mikki (fellow blogger), my friend Jessica, and myself had to take apart a computer and put it back together, and that was fun. I have so much to tell you but so little time, so I guess I will say TTFN.

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!

I’M BACK! Yes, it is I, Taylor, back to give you my blog. This is the new year, which means new goals for everyone. This year I’m going to come out blazing. You know why? It’s because it’s 2010, and I’m finally 18! Whooo * Bells and whistles*! However, that doesn’t mean I get to slack off. It really means I have to apply myself even more because now I’m considered a man, which means me slacking is not a very good idea. If I do that can mean me losing out on the many opportunities that are before me, and I do not want those to leave my sight. I believe this year will be a great year because I get to graduate . I hope this year can be better than last. So with that I say TTYL.

We all dream of being someone else, to ride a new wave, to be reborn, to start ALL over again. 2010 is my year of promise. I will see that it’s remarkable!   The year 2010 holds so much for me. I will graduate this year, I will turn 18, and I will begin college in 2010! This year, I have to actually grow up. I’m expected to go above and beyond, and it scares me to death. I just wanna be a little kid again!  But that’s not gonna happen, so I have to overcome my fear. Some of my goals for this year are to stay motivated and not be tardy. Because if you know me at all, you know it’s pretty difficult for me to be on time!
