This past weekend I went on my third HOSA trip. Before I talk specifically about this year’s trip, I feel that it is important to talk about what the HOSA trip is in itself. HOSA, also known as Future Health Professionals (I know you’re wondering how “HOSA” stands for that, don’t worry, they just changedContinue reading “HOSA SLC: CAS Blog Fourteen”

I’ve been an IB art student since my junior year of high school. This has allowed for various opportunities with my thinking of art. I have three main assessments that I’ve been encouraged to consider with my thinking.

I’m well aware that there are still some CAS-related activities remaining (including some more blogs and my eventual presentation), but it is still exciting that we’re all at this point so close to the end of the program. For my CAS project, IContinue reading “CAS PROJECT: CAS Blog Twelve”

Luckily, I was able to exempt my finals toContinue reading “Korean BBQ: CAS Blog Ten”

Personally, I have never been to the High MuseumContinue reading “Poetry to Art: CAS Blog Nine”

A couple of weekends ago my friend and I went to see the play Dr. Dolittle at the Carrollton Center of the Arts. Neither one of us had ever seen the play, but our teacher Mr. Brewer was in the play, making us more inclined to see the show. All I had known about Dr.Continue reading “Dr. Dolittle: CAS Blog Seven”

The University of West Georgia hosted an English research conference on the 21st. At the conference, various panels are set up where students and researchers can present pieces of writing they have created. I had the honor of being selected by my teacher Mrs. Hook to be on one of the panels. This was basedContinue reading “Undergraduate English Conference: CAS Blog Six”

This year is my senior year. I’ve talked about some of implications that come with that in my last blog (which you can find here), but there’s a lot of other things to consider. If you’ve read my last blog then you have heard about my fascination with the excitement surrounding senior year and homecoming.Continue reading “Homecoming: CAS Blog Five”
