EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR MRS. HOPPER'S THEORY CLASSES - Students in Mrs. Hopper's theory class had the unique opportunity to participate in a Zoom call with a current Texas A&M Medical student.

Before the call, students researched what it takes to become a physician and were asked to come up with three thoughtful questions to ask during the meeting. This preparation enabled them to engage meaningfully and make the most of their experience.

This was a fantastic opportunity for the students to gain firsthand knowledge and inspiration directly from those currently pursuing a career in medicine. Thanks to Texas A &M for always reaching out to help our students.

·         Increased physical symptoms—such as fatigue, headaches, and stomachaches—commonly associated with emotional distress.

·         Changing or withdrawing from social connections or situations.

·         Changes in sleep (increased or decreased).

·         Anger or hostility that seems out of character or out of context.

·         Recent increased agitation or irritability.

Mrs. Hopper's Freshman Principles of Health Science class enjoyed learning how to stop a bleed. The students watched an informational slideshow, then got to practice on their “patient”. Some of them even used their acting skills. A fun and educational Friday was had by all! A big thank you to Nurse Ott for taking the time to lead the demonstration.
