A Career As A HOSA Officer

A man most people know for his incredible but challenging basketball career, Michael Jordan, once said when giving tips on how to be successful like himself, “You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the levels of everything you do will rise. I’m not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.” Although some may disagree and say that quality practices do not go hand in hand with quantity practice for successful people, I disagree. Successful people practice with a purpose: to be successful. Bill Gates had intentions of becoming successful when spending endless hours in the computer lab. The Beatles always had it in their plans to become better each performance when they would play eight hours a day in Germany. Based on evidence, it seems to be a pattern that a successful individual does have both a practice of quality and quantity in their vocabulary to mean the same thing. These individuals have therefore taught themselves hard work, because this idea of 10,000 hours of practice has allowed them to learn how to work for what they

The position of Officer in Charge of a Coast Guard unit is earned. Candidates demonstrate knowledge and temperament for the position in an exhaustive oral evaluation process. Then earn assignment in competition with peers. Receiving orders as an Officer in Change validates the belief that you know how to run a unit and what is best for the crew. Prior to my current assignment I served as Officer in Charge of a unit with a high performance standard and very good morale. This further reinforced my belief that I knew how to run my new unit and what was best for my new crew. I quickly learned that my new crew was not my old crew. I tried to use the same leadership philosophy and practices that had worked very well previously and expected the same results. The new crew required a much different approach and soliciting feedback ultimately led to improved results. The LPI has taught me that I can certainly improve as a leader. I need to work on not just being approachable, but also being open to feedback. In some cases I may need to actively seek feedback rather than simply holding request and complaint mast once a week. Improving my ability to challenge people to try new and innovative ways to complete their work may complement improvements in seeking

Author Ralph Waldo Emerson once sad " Unless you try something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow". On past experiences in my life I would agree with Emerson because one will never truly master something but people everyday have said people have mastered a sport or a instrument but everyday that person practices on that one thing all the time. Look at some great sports players like Messi or Stephen Curry both are spectacular at what they do. Messi was looked at by many people when he was young at not able to play due to how short and small he was. He started to practice on end to help him get to a point where a small soccer team picked him up and play for them at this point he wasn't done so he got even better and now competes with some of the other worlds best

When I applied to be a HOSA (Future Health Professionals) officer, I had no clue what I was getting myself into. I knew that my responsibilities as a HOSA reporter were to write the newsletter and attend officer meetings, however, my duties spanned far beyond my expectations. Being a HOSA officer at the Biosciences and Medicine Academy (BSMA) is the equivalent of being in student government at a regular high school. My responsibilities as a HOSA officer are to be a leader and a team player. My leadership role is extremely significant to me because it has given me the opportunity to learn and gain soft skills through personal experience.

Practice can be the key to improving. In every area of education, in every sport, with every musical activity, anything that requires a good performance, those who practice tend to understand the material more. Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers states just how important this can be. Going off of the idea that “practice makes perfect”, his entire second chapter is dedicated to persuading his audience to believe 10,000 hours is what it takes to succeed. Examples Gladwell provides include how Mozart didn’t create his greatest works until later in his life after he had gained experience, how the Beatles performed in multiple practice concerts in Hamburg, Germany before becoming musical sensations, and how Bobby Fischer and chess grandmasters

There are many reasons I would like to be a HOSA officer. Every since I was a little girl, I have been passionate about healthcare. My dad used to work in the ER and he would always tell me crazy stories. I am in the Intro to Healthcare class right now. Everything we learn is extremely interesting.

In the reading, The 10,000-Hour Rule, by Malcolm Gladwell he writes about practicing for a certain amount of time to really master something. I believe that his argument isn’t too credible and it doesn’t apply to every field.

While many say that practice makes perfect, is that true? Does a person need to put in such a vast amount of time in order to get better and excel in something? In a chapter of his book called “The 10,000 Hour Rule” in Outliers author Malcolm Gladwell believes that a person needs to put in a least 10,000 hours in order to excel in their area of practice. Contrary to Gladwell, fellow author, Daniel Goleman states that the hours of practice doesn’t matter but the concentration and focus is what makes a difference. Using evidence from his book, “Focus:The Hidden Driver of Excellence,” Goleman concludes that a person doesn’t need to practice hard, but practice deliberately. After reading the theories on repetition and how it relates to success, I think that it’s not the of hours on studying or training that is important, but the concentration and attention to detail that makes a person great. I conclude that a person doesn’t need to worry about putting in a unreasonable amount of hours, but they need to focus on concentrating and in

For example, in order for me to learn how to do injections, or draw blood I’d have to practice in a clinic. Doing these tasks correctly means asking others for help when needed, setting a goal, and planning out the strategy to learning it, monitoring my progress, and getting feedback from others about my performance. The best way deliberate practice can help me fully learn these new skills is by practicing them repetitively. You know the saying “practice makes perfect?” You can’t learn how to do billing, or how to administer injections overnight. It takes time, and effort to learn something new. Paying attention to what you’re doing is very important as well.

There is an old saying that almost everyone has heard at some point in their lives: “practice makes perfect.” But is this saying really true? In Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers, he examines the correlation between practice and success. He argues that one must put in 10,000 hours of practice in a certain area in order to be successful and “achieve mastery” in it. However, there has also been research done that contradicts Gladwell’s theory. While I agree with Gladwell’s overall idea that practice is a crucial component to being successful in any area, I do not believe that the 10,000 hour rule is an accurate generalization because some people pick things up quicker than others and it often depends on the quality of practice more than the amount.

My time in these positions truly impressed upon me the importance of pride and ownership, in everything I do. Being put into a situation that I was not comfortable with forced me to step outside of my comfort zone and become competent at things that I had never experienced before, such as writing awards and supporting the Commander in a way that did not relate to my MOS duties.

If I were elected for being a HOSA officer a few academic/ future goals that I would be able to achieve is being interactive with academic activities. In Middle School I was involved with countless clubs and programs such as NJHS and Equality Club, and I’m lacking the high school experience by not involving myself with this year school activities. Not only will joining HOSA  improve my ability to communicate with others, it will also aid in building my self confidence. Stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something unfamiliar is a bit difficult, however I desire for a transition and HOSA is a advanced start.

The difference between someone who practices insufficiently and someone who loads their practice; is the significance of how great they will become. That is what makes someone extraordinary. The perfect amount of time to achieve greatness, is ten thousand hours. Simply if they practice perpetually, they will achieve their ten thousand hours. Ten thousand hours is the approximate number for being the best. Gladwell states, “Achievement is talent, plus preparation.” Someone could achieve this if they put three hours a day in for ten

“Hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice practice” - Ray Bradbury. I also believe that practice can help anyone become amazing at the thing they love to doing.

The saying "practice makes perfect" is an accurate statement when attempting to becoming successful. Malcolm Gladwell wrote an essay called How to Be a Success, in which he states that in order to be a
