2010 Washinton Leadership Academy Day 2

D.C. showers gave HOSA University a new twist!

On the second day of Washington Leadership Academy, members continued their sessions in HOSA University. With various creative lessons, such as combining the classic Mr. Potato Head with the idea of successful workshops, the members received a greater base of knowledge to take back to their states and local chapters.

After the sessions concluded, the members began their scavenger hunt into the heart of the Washington DC.

The quest began as a competition to finish the scavenger hunt, but also turned into a day of reminiscing, unity, respect, and overall appreciation. HOSA members visited various historical landmarks such as Theodore Roosevelt Island and the breath-taking memorial of Flight 93 at the Pentagon. The exciting team journeys through the National Mall followed.

The delegation had the opportunity to visit places such as the Smithsonian Museums, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court, The National Gallery, and many more sites in between the Washington Monument and The White House. After a long day of learning and exploring, the Hard Rock Café was the perfect place for over 100 hungry future, and practicing, health care professionals.

The day concluded with a beautiful Twilight Tour, which consisted of visits the World War II memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, the War of Korea Memorial and finally the Lincoln Memorial. Members were able to reflect on the events that shaped the course of American history in a new way. HOSA members can look back at America’s greatest achievements to carry it on to future generations. As stated in the various historic infrastructure of Washington DC, “The Past is Prologue”.
