Nashville Bound

I got back this past Saturday from Athens, after having spent three days with my HOSA students at the State Leadership Conference. This is one of the things that I have really enjoyed doing with my students. It has been overwhelming at times and I wish I were more organized with the logistics of all of the activities, but inspite of my shortcomings, the students have excelled. It was really nice being outside of the classroom environment and instead of the role of teacher, I felt like more of a mentor or even a cheerleader. All the students who went had some kind of role to play and they were so serious about doing their job or competition well.  It really made me proud of them and for them. One of my teams placed third in state in the CPR/First Aid competition. This means that they get to compete at national HOSA. That trip is in Nashville this summer, and I get to go with them. Opryland here I come!
