What to say about Spring Break? It was one of the quickest and most exciting yet boring times in my life. The quickest parts comes into play when I woke up the Tuesday morning when we had to come back to school and all I could wonder is where did my Spring Break go. It seems like it was just yesterday that it got started.
The most exciting part comes into play because of my HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) competition that I competed in with many other Health Tech students on the last two days before break got started. We left the Thursday before break started and had our competition that day. I was on a team with three other classmates, which are Sherra Roseberry, Shana Kirkpatrick, and Jessica Abouaf, and we were competing in the HOSA Knowledge Bowl. This was our first year competing so we just figured we would go down there, find out what it was all about and bring back some information to help next year’s team.
As the competition got started we quickly realized that we could do much more than that, and after a few rounds of competition we were in the final round which we were also able to win, making us the State Champs for HOSA Knowledge Bowl and allowing us the opportunity to go to Florida this summer to compete in the National Event.
Not only did my team do well in taking the gold, fellow classmates Jessica Frazier, Abby Adkins and Nikki McNamara won gold in the medical reading competition and Kelli Sprang took the bronze in the Personal Care competition. All the success and the promise of a once-in-a lifetime competition in Florida is what made this the most exciting Spring Break ever.
As for the most boring spring break ever, I either had to work or had a track meet every day over break except for two which didn’t leave me time to relax or have any fun making it one of the most boring Spring Breaks I’ve ever had. Thanks for all your time and wish all of us the best of luck in Florida.
