The 2022 Georgia HOSA SLC was a sight to be seen. Starting with competitions on the very first day of arrival, it wasn’t only fun, but also a competitive event. Students competed in all different kinds of areas, varying from Medical Law and Ethics to Extemporaneous Writing to Medical Innovations. The Opening Ceremony itself started with a huge bang as students from all over Georgia, including middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college students walked the red carpet while representing their schools. There were also various workshops for students as they gained valuable information regarding colleges and signed up for summer internships and the like. Then came the Recognition Ceremony, which took place on the second night, and many IA students received recognition during this time. One of our own even got elected as the State Vice President of Innovation! Later that night, a series of events varying from a silent disco to a karaoke party was held for the entertainment of students. The next morning, which was also the last, the Award Ceremony was held where many of our students became finalists, and one even ended up winning a place at the International Conference. Overall, the entire conference was a blast, we hope to have this much if not more fun at ILC!
