If I had to choose another program besides Electronics Engineering to take here at OHP, I would probably pick Professional Turf & Landscaping. I think that program is sweeeeeet. I would get the chance to learn how to build cute little waterfalls and ponds and how to actually keep flowers fresh and pretty haha. I would be outside a lot, which would help me continue being tan. People always want the outside of their house, or job, to be attractive…so learning how to do landscaping would be something I would always use.

My spring break was incredibly busy. I had some fun on the weekends, but during the week I worked almost every day because I got a new job! I now work at a cell phone store. Since I am in Electronics Engineering here at OHP, the boss lady from the store got a hold of Ms. Spain to find two students to work for her. Taylor (fellow blogger) and I both got the job! She was very impressed that we are both familiar with repairing any electronics.
So over Spring Break we had to go to Easton in Columbus to train for our new job. We learnt how to talk to customers, how all the phones work, the plans, and much, much more! I’m so happy I finally have a great job. One that allows me to use the knowledge I have gained at Hi-Point.  Gotta get back to class now.  Toodles!

Ayyy:) How are my Hi-Point fans doing? Hopefully you all are enjoying this fabulous weather we are having! I know I sure am
So I was told to blog about stuff I don’t like about OHP this week. I’m guessing my blogger instructor guy was nervous to tell ME to do that, because he knows…that I am a very outspoken lady! But, I’m sitting here writing my entry, and I seriously cannot think about anything negative to say about this school. Weird? I know!
So he has absolutely nothing to worry about, lol. Maybe one tiny problem I personally have is that I’m not in class all that often. But that’s only because of the choices I have made for being a Lead Ambassador here at OHP. So sometimes my grades start slacking a little because I’m not often in class to learn the material. But next week we have OGT’s, so Hi-Point will be on a two hour delay all week. We are holding a study hall for those two hours for anyone who thinks that they need time to work on school stuff. So I will be here, making sure my grades are flying high. Haha.
I had my slot car competition last week at Rhodes State College for engineering day. My pretty, dazzled car had the looks, but it only ran down the track twice. Boooo!
I had 8th grade tours yesterday. Shana (fellow blogger) and I were able to do them together, which was soo much fun!  We definitely made sure those 8th graders knew everything about OHP, fersure!  We just kept on talking and talking and eventually ran out of time, haha. I gotta get back to class for now. Next week I will be posting videos and blogs about the ABLE classes here at OHP. So make sure you see those!  Ta-ta for now!

It’s definitely a flurry February! How are all my Hi-Point fans enjoying this weather? Ha! Well, it is just crazy in the Electronics Engineering program here at OHP lately. Last week we had Women in Engineering Day. It was very successful. In my lab, we had the girls build a robot butterfly. It was super neat to be the one who taught them how to complete their first electronics engineering task. To see their faces when everything worked when they soldered the last piece together. Very cool, very cool
We have so many competitions coming up in my lab. I’ve been building my slot car for the one competition at Rhodes State that’s coming up next month. I’m for sure going to make mine stand out. I’ve been putting a little “Mikki” in it haha. Mine is all dazzled with jewels and glitter. I can’t wait for my instructor to see how mine has turned out haha. He will be shocked!
Another competition that’s coming up soon is the NRC- National Robotics Challenge. In this competition, my two partners and I have to program a Lego Mind storms robot, to complete task for the Agbot challenge. Then we are all doing our senior projects and getting ready for Skills USA in May! So much to do, so little time. At least I’m keeping busy my senior year   -peace fans!

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.

This past week my lab had a “Women in Technology and Engineering” event. This was with girls from local schools interested in Information Technology. We had 10 girls show up and they went to different sessions for the whole day. Several labs participated in it, including Information technology, Electronics Engineering, and Architectural and Mechanical Design. There were also some women teachers that participated as well. There was a movie dealing with different IT fields, and a crime scene investigation including testing (fake) blood and urine to find out who was guilty of the crime. It was really fun to show girls that females can do just as good as a job as a male can!

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!

I can’t think of any more exciting ways to begin my blogs than to grab my fans’ attention! Haha.
How are all of you Hi-Point fans? I hope you all are doing fabulous and enjoying all of the Holiday spirit going on everywhere. : )  I am doing OK besides the fact that I’m 17 and I’m getting laid off from my job. That’s when you know the economy is awful!  Here at OHP everything is busy, busy, busy, like usual! The theme for this month is Community Service.  I figured since such a large number of parents are going to be jobless this Holiday season, my program and I need to help families out as much as possible.  So if any of you have any awesome ideas for what my program can do this year, holla at me!

I remember when I was a sophomore and I was interested in going to OHP for my junior and senior year of high school. My momma was so not down with it. She thought Hi-Point would just be an easy way out for me. I told her no, no, no! Hi-Point has SO much to offer for me, so she decided to let me be a student here.  Now my mom’s outlook on Ohio Hi-Point is completely different!  She loves that I chose to come to the career center for my last two years of high school.  She is so pleased with all the experience that I have been given here at OHP. All of the skills I have learned and all of the college credits that I have earned here. My mom is just another statistic with job loss, but she is one who lost her job due to the crappy economy, so she is especially thrilled by all the money that we have saved by me choosing to come to Hi-Point. My momma is so happy that I became a Lead Ambassador, too, and now a blogger for OHP. She doesn’t regret my choice at all and her choice in letting me come to Ohio Hi-Point Career Center!  So, go fill those applications out, sophomores! Go, go, go!

Hey my followers. This week has sure been a busy one. We have been preparing for Sophomore Career Days (which started today!). This is for all you sophomores to see what you would be doing in a lab here at OHP. My lab has a lot of things to show you on Thursday or Friday, depending on what day you come. We have a video game program that a student programmed. You may ask what is it and the answer is: I can’t tell you unless you come and see it, which you can also do during next week’s Taste of the Future Open House.
We also have a working robot arm that will pick up blocks and put them into different buckets, and this will be operated by Clay and Jessica. You also will get to see a cool networking show from Phil and Braden. Sadly, I will not be there to see you all enjoy this.  I will be at Skills USA’s fall leadership camp. So hopefully I come back as a better leader. I will get to see you people on November 19 at the Taste of the Future!

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.

TTYL

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!
