Hey every one!
So I know that I haven’t been blogging lately but I needed to focus on my schoolwork for a while. But just to inform some of my followers I did get accepted into Ohio state Lima campus!!!!! I am super excited and I hope every one is excited for me too! Okay but the true reason of my blog is to inform about our visits to Marysville 8th graders!
As we went through the days talking and giving the 8th graders a virtual tour instead of our normal tour on campus many young students had questions and where able to understand what was truly going on at the nontraditional high school of OHP. Most of the questions were about laptops and programs. We explained the process to earning your laptop for free and other ways of buying your laptop when you graduate. We also explained how the normal day went for students and that if they didn’t want to go to their home school for their core classes that we supply them at OHP.
The day seemed to fly by including and amazing lunch and outstanding students indulged with the presentation and questions. I believe the tour was a great turn out.

So this past weekend I went to PA to hang out with my best friend. Well! While we were at the mall we seen the Eagles! Neither of us like football but we thought the mascot was pretty cool haha!

Meet Bernard! Bernard is my PINK robot for my senior project. The objective for Bernard is to conquer the maze that we have constructed. Not only does Bernard have to go through this maze during my senior presentation. He has to do it for a competition!! I am very stressed out about this little fella. I have to program him to run through this maze with very little room for error. Literally. The competition I am taking him to is approaching rapidly and I’m terrified. I am hoping to be able to place in AT LEAST the top 3. Although, first would be VERY nice, I will accept 3rd. Wish Bernard and I luck!!!

A big congratulations to the Lead Ambassadors for their pizza sales!! Between the 35 Lead Ambassadors, they sold well over 100 pizzas to raise money for the Senior Lead Ambassador Scholarships. Thanks to these generous members, 2 of the senior Ambassadors will benefit from the outstanding sales from their fellow peers. Good job, Lead Ambassadors! Keep up the good work!!

These are all pictures of the Cosmetology lab at the Sentinel Career and Technology Center. I thought it would be a cool thing to look and see how other vocational schools compare and contrast to good ole’ Hi-Point!I certainly enjoyed looking around their lab. They had a lot of neat and quirky items!!

Hello all! This past week went by pretty fast if I do say so myself. We had our interview competition on Monday, and the three winners were chosen! Later on Monday, I got the wonderful opportunity to explore another vocational school which was a very neat thing to see! Of course, I just HAD to check out their cosmetology department:)

There will be photos uploaded later on today when I get my cable and camera hooked up! I have to say, I was very impressed with what they had. On Thursday, I did an 8th grade tour for my home school, so that was great! On Friday, I had a client in lab. She was the sweetest little 94 year old I had ever met! She got herself a perm, and it turned out wonderfully! Next week is when I take my senior finals in lab to determine when I go on to state boards, so hopefully I pass!  I hope you all have a had a wonderful weekend, and I’ll see you all tomorrow, bye!

Hey guys! Long time no post. Anyway a lot of things have been happening since I last updated.

To start with I’ve been doing a lot with Ambassadors lately. Two weeks ago I went to the all boards banquet and gave tours at the school for the new board members. Tommie, Michael, Michael and Jamario were there too. We gave tours of the school and got to eat a bunch of great food that the Culinary Arts students made.

Last week we (Meaning BPA students) had our competitions. In the picture above is all the students advancing to Regional Competitions. Regional competitions is where all the local schools from Region 16 get together and compete to see who will advance to state. Tomorrow are Regionals so wish me luck!

Last Friday was the Marysville Highschool Job Fair. Myself and 3 other Student Ambassadors went to Marysville to help promote Hi-Point and talk to Sophomores. It was a lot of fun and I got to talk to the different venders there as well as talk to students.
Until Next time!

Hello everyone! I know I haven’t blogged in over a month, and trust me, it feels good to be back on here! Well, what are some things that I can catch you up on? We had our exams about two weeks ago, so that was a very stressful time for me. It seemed like my brain was on overload the entire time! I’m glad to say that that week is over, and I have passed all of my exams therefore I passed the semester! Woo!!

The one exam that I was really stressing out about the most would be my lab exam. We took it over the whole week, and it was kind of scary! What we did for our cosmetology exam was have a mock state boards examination. We performed all of the tasks that we were expected to do at state boards, and everything was timed! There were also three different categories we tested in: Hair, nails, and skin. We performed all of the procedures on mannequins, and our nails on flour hands that we made!

After all was said and done, I got my grade and I was pretty impressed with myself! I knew that I had messed up on a couple of things, but now that I know what I messed up on, I’m pretty positive that when I do go to State Boards, I will be able to pass it with flying colors! Speaking of State Boards, hopefully, we will be going as soon as March!! That is, if my lab instructor can get our scores sent out in a timely manner. I can only hope that we actually doe go in March, that way I’ll be able to work in a salon while still in high school!

Now, for more of a current up-to-date update, right now we are learning about wigs in lab and all of the different wigs there are today. We are also going to learn how to size wigs for individuals! I’d like to say more, but that’s all that’s going on in lab! However, we will be having another cut-a-thon at the Ohio Hi-Point Career Center Salon!! This will be held on February 23rd, and will run from 8:30- 7 I believe. Don’t quote me on that though! When I upload my next blog, I will know for sure! You will be able to come to the salon and have any service that we offer whether it be a hair cut with a style, or manicure with a facial! We offer many services at low prices!! Okay, now i sound like a T.V. commercial!!! I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend, and next week I will let you all see what we’re doing out in the lab with a couple of pictures! Bye everyone!

Yes, I am aware that I said I would be uploading another blog on Friday, and it is Wednesday! I’m again, sorry for the delay. This weekend was crazy! But, I am here now, writing this blog so here we go!

My lab had the Cut-a-thon last Thursday, and I think it’s safe to say that it was a hit! We had clients left and right; everyone was working hard, and getting their clients in and out as quickly as possible so that the next client could be taken. I myself only had two clients. My first client took up most of my time, but my second one only took about ten or fifteen minutes. I actually received quite the tip from my first client! She said that she loved her new look, and she would be coming back soon! Overall, it was very fun to do and we will be having two more cut-a-thons in the future!

On Friday, we had the health technology seniors come into our lab as a treat for their hard effort and work. Some of them are even STNA’s! I did an updo on a student, and she was very happy with it. We all talked and laughed and just had a good time!

So far, we only have 5 more school days until we are out for Christmas break, and this makes me quite excited! I’m excited to spend time with my loved ones, and to be able to sleep past 6! The holidays are always a fun and happy time for me!!

I would write more, but I am very tired and therefore need to seek my eyelids. I will write later you guys, bye!!!!
