Hey Everyone!

Sorry it has been awhile. I hope everyone had a good New Year and Christmas. It is hard to believe that in in a little over five months I along with the other seniors will be graduating. Everything is coming to a close here at Ohio Hi-Point soon and college choices are beginning to be made and finalized. Here at Hi-Point many doors have been opened for me because of my lab and all the opportunities that I have received. For all the people that don’t know a lot about the Health Tech II Lab, most of the seniors back in December took the STNA (State Tested Nurses Aide) test and received their STNA licenses. That was a wonderful experience for me and all the hard work, effort and studying for those tests payed off. I am currently in the processes of getting a job at a nursing home working as an aide. This would have been a very difficult task to achieve in high school if I would not have chosen to come here. Many of the nurses and staff that work there can not believe that I am a senior and I am able to work as an aide and pay for my college on my own now. Everyone says they wish they would have known about or had the opportunity to come to a school like this. To me Hi-Point has helped me get further ahead for college and my career and as the last months of school go by fast, just take a second to realize so far what your lab has done for you or is doing for you now, because if it is anything like mine I’m sure it is helping you out a lot.

Hey guys!(: Well I know it’s the holidays but even we like to have some fun! Health Technology decided to take our last two days here as fun days. Monday we had our local HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America) competition.  Every student got to compete in one event, which is a grade. But it’s still a lot of fun. The winners of this local competition get to go the state competition in March. Then today, which is our last day before break, we have a carry in, watch movies, and play games. Its so much fun to be able to have a day off, and just relax and have fun.

Over break I’ll be bowling pretty much everyday. But that’s okay because the more I practice the better I’ll be, and hopefully be able to get scholarships. If anyone saw my New Years resolution that Megan filmed I said it was to get into Urbana University. Over break if I’m not bowling at West Liberty-Salem, hopefully I will be bowling with them.

Well everyone have fun, and be safe over this holiday season! See you next year(: Mercedes

Okay so we have some major updates for me! For starters, I passed my STNA (State-Tested Nurses Aide) exam, which was a big step for me in my health career. Next on the list is a more recent update! As of today (December 21, 2010) I am going to State Competition in HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America) for prepared speaking! This will be both difficult and rewarding, because if I win, I will be on my way to California for National Competition.

You know what else is big news? Christmas is in 4 days! How exciting! That’s all for this post! I just wanted to update you on a few things. Everyone have a good break and happy holidays
