SHS HOSA Students Attend and Compete at State Conference
Students in the SHS HOSA
Chapter attended and competed at the State HOSA Conference last week.
Jazmin Rodriguez, who competed in Health Career Photography, and Gibson Vestal, who competed in Physical Therapy, advanced to round two of their event.
Jazmin took pictures of three healthcare professionals, wrote a one-page summary about their job and created a portfolio of her work. She had to submit the portfolio digitally prior to the competition and only those who scored high enough would give a three-minute presentation at SLC. She was able to give her presentation in which she gave details about each picture.
Gibson Vestal took a test at SLC and those scoring high enough advanced to round two in which eight skills relevant to physical therapy had to be learned. During round two, Gibson was asked to perform one of those skills.
Our chapter received the Dr. Charles Drew Blood Sponsor award for collecting 100-200 units of blood last year.
Twice as many students from Starmount attended the conference as did last year. The students attended educational symposiums and extended their learning beyond the classroom. They were provided with opportunities they would not be able to receive at school. They also realized the level of preparedness needed to be successful in events. I believe it ignited a fire in them to continue to improve.
They had fun, made memories and developed friendships that otherwise would not have been made. It was a great experience for these students!
Thank you to Ms. Matthews for making this opportunity possible!
