Over the past years, my role has definitely evolved as our HOSA chapter has grown... advisor, cheerleader, advocate, mediator, confidant, problem-solver, mentor, organizer, liaison, opportunity seeker :)

This was our first year having our officers attend the Fall State Leadership conference. It was fun to see them brainstorm new ideas for our chapter and go out of their comfort zone to sing karaoke!

I’m grateful to be involved in HOSA because being an advisor is so rewarding. I’m able to see these students participate and plan various community service events and work with each other to help out the community. I also love attending SLC and seeing students interact with HOSA members from other chapters.

# data[].attributes.body
Within our HOSA chapter, I feel like my main roles are a problem solver and event organizer. I’m blessed to have chapter officers that can handle a lot on their own, so I would say these are the two main roles I take on.

This was my favorite picture from last year. This is my entire 1st group of students. I had given out awards and had celebrated all of them. It was such a fun group of students and I was truly blessed to have them as a first year group!

# data[].attributes.body
I get to build the most awesome relationships with my students who are in HOSA. While I try to do this with all students, I get to spend more time with my HOSA students because we go on trips and go to conferences. While fundraising I get to hear what is going on in their lives and just get to know them better than I would just as their classroom teacher. I love that I have the resources to help them find internships when they hit the high school level and can help them to learn more about the field they want to pursue.

Working with students and helping them explore various healthcare opportunities is a great opportunity. It takes the experience to a new level when working with students. HOSA offers numerous resources for students. One of my students shared with me that they didn't feel like they fit in with any other chapters or organizations at their school until they joined HOSA.

I feel that my role is organizer and corespondent. Our students are in different programs and I am always the middle man between the juniors and seniors as they attend opposite days at our school. I also am support to students especially as they work on the events or have ideas they want to bring to fruition.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to travel with these kids and watch them make memories and have new experiences! It is also rewarding to see the pride in their work! I love being part of that!

Grateful for:

I have the opportunity to develop a deeper relationship with students through HOSA than what I am able to do in the classroom. I have seen students make major changes in their lives for the better so that they have the opportunities available through HOSA. Some of our students struggle to make connections themselves and I see them do that more as HOSA members.

I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with students who share a passion for learning about healthcare. I love to see them grow and accomplish new things. HOSA Tall programs have really helped me gain new ideas and resources to make our chapter be a great chapter. The students are so much fun to be around and they always leave me with a smile on my face.

Role

HOSA Advisor for Ayden/Grifton High School

Mentor, encourager, cheerleader-I'm the advisor on the left behind the 2 young ladies in white. I push our officers to grow and take on new challenges and keep them on task.

# data[].attributes.body
I take a ridiculous amount of photos but here are a few. RHS members volunteered for Keep Roswell Beautiful to pick up trash. They also made the operation cornhole game for the RHS Community Carnival with the help of the RHS construction class. HOSA members drew and painted the design and the construction students did the woodwork.

# data[].attributes.body
I can lead students who otherwise might not have the opportunities HOSA can provide. I am grateful for students who are interested in improving their lives by being involved and learning more. Many of my students are finding gaps in their learning but I am grateful that I can fill these gaps and my students feel comfortable enough to come to me. I am grateful that I have the energy, time, resources, and support to lead HOSA and watch my students grow.

# data[].attributes.body
I am so grateful for the resources available to advisors and students. As a new chapter the HOSA website, our state advisor, and the bronze, silver, & gold courses have been an immeasurable source for me.

I am grateful for my fellow advisors that shared their experiences, insights, and resources.

# data[].attributes.body
My role in HOSA is to be a mentor to RHS HOSA members. I am the behind-the-scenes person working out logistics for all activities and the support system for RHS HOSA members. I provide a place for members to gather and encourage creative ideas to help our new chapter grow.

There are many aspects that make me grateful to be involved in HOSA. Over the last decade I have had the opportunity to wear many "hats" within HOSA as a student member, State Officer, local advisor at both the secondary and collegiate level, and State Director. Each experience has provided me with unique perspectives to further support our current advisors and members. Though the one aspect that has kept me engaged with HOSA and I am most grateful for is the sense of community that the organization provides. I've had the opportunity to meet incredible individuals in each role I've had and always look forward to seeing my HOSA family at the different state and international events throughout the year!

Our school had a Back to School Bash in August...these students only knew each other for 2 days. (This was last year's group) I had them collaborate to come up with a team name, colors, and mascot, create posters and noisemakers, and then they signed up to compete in volleyball, kickball and cornhole. Three of these students have gone on to our practical nursing program and others are continuing in the second year of their Health Careers program.
